LawnBoy Ignition Module

This spring all of my 'boys' fired up except my 10301,
which didn't have spark, (ran fine when I put it up
for the winter). When my new CD pak arrived I put
them both on the bench and got out my high end multimeter,
(Fluke 189). I compared resistance readings and came up
with the following results:
Bad CD Pak: plug wire to steel laminations, 316 ohms,
(new Pak, 527 ohms).
Bad CD Pak: steel laminations to grounding tab, 0.0 ohms,
(new Pak, 6.2 ohms).
Bad CD Pak: plug wire to grounding tab, 0.0 ohms,
(new Pak, 528 ohms).
I installed the new CD Pak and the mower fired right up.
I have the old one on my work bench and will try to
dissect it, using my Dremel tool, as I am beside myself
not knowing what is inside these things that fail so
often. I probably won't get to it until winter, but
I'll post my results then. |

| I sure wish there was a substitute or some other fix. It is riduculous, the frequency of failure. In fact, I never had a solid state ignition fail except on a lawnboy. |
