Question
aries 9hp riding mower motor in the back
i have change the plug starter sil and the ing switch plus the battery it still wont start no spark from the plug when i crank it over the safty switch on the sit is bypassed what am i miss to make it spark thank you

Answer
 Hello Larry:

 Remove the Blower Housing(metal engine cover). Then Disconnect the Shutoff Wire from the Coil. If the Plug Fires, then The Coil/Ignition Module/Igniter is Bad. Send me the Model Numbers Off of the Mower and the Make, Model, Type and Code Numbers Off of the Engine, Please. With these Numbers I can View a Breakdown of the Mower and the Engine and Better Assist you. Hope this Helps. Let me know what Happens, Please. I enjoy knowing the Outcome. Thanks.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 John
