Weak ignition spark would not fire plug.
Easy, but lots of parts to remove to access it. I removed the old module, then installed the new one. I set the gap between the flywheel magnets and the module at 0.25 After changing the ignition module, engine started on 3rd pull. Excellent service from ereplacement. Will buy again.

I had to disassemble all covers and separate motor from shaft not hard to do with a T-25 torx driver. Coil is easy to get to. When putting new coil on turn flywheel so magnets are in line with coil and use a business card to gap them. Then tighten the coil down.
The whole process took me about 40 minutes.

  • Poulan magneto coil
    Item arrived quickly. Installed in a few minutes, took a few more to properly adjust with feeler gauge. The spark plug cap had rubber flash inside which made it difficult to properly insert the plug, finally carved it out with a craft blade. Motor fired on first pull so replacement a success.
