Mend John Deere 425 Ideas

john deere 425, has no spark from either coil... got any ideas?

Has no spark from either coil, got any ideas?

Disconnect the engine kill wire and re-test. A problem in the rest of the mower may be grounding it. If that's not it, disconnect one coil at a time and re-test.

Just one thought - has the ignition switch been changed? and if so, has the correct type been used? Car-type switches will put battery voltage to the coil, which will fry them instantly.
