Question
Hello John,
I have a Harmony II HRT 216 that won't start. It seems that when I pull the cord no spark is going to the spark plug. What should I do?
Thank you for your time.
Hello Dimitar:
Disconnect the Control Bracket Shut Off Wire First, Check for Fire at the Plug. If Still No Fire at the Plug; Then Disconnect the Shut Off Wire at the Coil and Check for Fire at the Plug. If No Fire at the Plug , then the Coil/Ign Module is Bad. The the Plug Fires, then the Shut Off Wire is Bad or the Fill Switch is Bad. The Coil/Ign Module to Flywheel Gap is .020in. You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Mower at this Site Addy, http://hayward.arinet.com/scripts/EmpartISAPI.dll?MF&app=ASP&lang=EN&TF=Mainfram... and Select the Catalog American Honda. Hope this Helps. I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Thanks.
Good Luck
Respectfully
John
