Bolens 1254 NO Spark :o(

Recommended Posts

Hello all, I finally got my wisconsin TDA 12-D motor in my Bolens tractor I am rebuliding ,But I have no spark ....the ignition module appears to be a CDI unit with three charging legs , (no points ) with one wire leading from it to an automotive type coil ,the wire is hooked to the posative side of the coil,then the negative lug has a wire going to the ignition switch .....(to ground the module or to kill the spark ????? Anyhow I am dumfounded,this engine had great spark until I decided to rebuild it ,and I already have more money into it than I think it is worth .... I guess I need a good wiring diagram for this 1254 ,if anyone has one I sure would appreciate it .... Thanks Jim

Fisrt Check the easy stuff, make sure the coil is OK, check the wires to the coil are hooked up right, check for bad connections or wire breaks, a frayed wire will ground it out.

I remember a post a while back where a ground to the motor was not hooked up after the motor had been replaced.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
