I have an old bolens that has not been running in a while. It has an Onan 18HP XLS motor I think P218. It will turn over but not fire or spark. I thought it may be a bad coil so I ordered a new one but same result. I then figure it had to be a bad ignition module. So I decide based on age I should just replace these parts. I also replaced the battery and plugs. The only things I have not replaced are the plug wires but they seem to test fine with the test meter. The other piece is the ignition rotor. I have the whole thing out of the frame on the bench. The rotor magnets will stick to other metal so I think it is OK, although they are not strong. So I need help. I have a few hundred into this and would like to get it running. I have the motor on the bench and it will turn over but I see zero spark on the plugs. I actually think I did not need the new coil or ignition module but I have 2 sets now. I cannot figure out why I am not getting spark. Oh I also got a new condenser. I have that on the positive side of the coil too. Any ideas? Thanks in Advance.
