That's how some car mechanics and doctors troubleshoot, too.

Ok how did you determine the mag was bad?



The ignition on this thing is simple. Key switch, magneto
and spark
plug. There are some safety switches in the mix such as on
the seat
and the hydrostatic lever has to be in neutral but the thing
won't
even turn over if those aren't working.

Since I didn't have any tool with which to test the magneto
and I
already had replaced the spark plug, I figured the magneto
was the
next logical culprit and took a chance and replaced it and
it worked.
