Atco groundsman tecumseh hh800 engine – no spark.

Hello all,

I have a groundsman with a HH80 engine – solid state ignition, no spark – it has been in storage for many years – any pointers?

Please let me know.

Was the reason it was put away for all that time because of its ignition “problem” ?.If so then a new coil is required.Before you buy one though just remove the thin cut out / ground wire on the coil terminal and try again.If still no spark (and you are sure that the spark plug,HT cap and HT cable are all ok) then a new or replacement coil is the answer.

Thank you for your reply – if I need a coil, where would I get one? the ones I have seen on ebay look nothing like what is fitted, the one on my engine is an aluminium thing.

Put a picture of it on here just so I can ID it and I will see if I have one.
