Vinylguy 4,674 #26 Posted July 17, 2013 Hi Terry, Wow, you have been bitten. It sure is a great hobby isn't it quite addicting. By the way the 520-8 decals are great and now I need a set for a 520-h.

ericj 1,578 #29 Posted July 18, 2013 terry put volt meter on the - side of the coil and on the negative side of battery and slowly spin the motor over by hand. the voltage should drop from 12 down to 1 volt or so, look up the onan manual service manual and it will give you step by step instructions on how to do it. but it sounds like the ignition module bit the dust. good luck with them looks like a good set of twins even if they are not identical twins. eric j Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HokieAg07 129 #30 Posted July 18, 2013 The throttle falling from full to 3/4 is an easy fix. The rivet that holds the throttle lever together gets loose. I take the cable/lever out of the tractor and peen the rivet, good as new! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Martin 2,131 #39 Posted October 15, 2013 got it running. coil was the culprit. runs ok, carb needs some cleaning, everything works great, engine mechanically nice and quiet, no smoke, no bad noises, hydro needs adjusting on the motion control but is strong, no leaks other than axle seals. seems like a nice tractor and representative mechanically of its working 557 hour meter........ will do a thread on my coil retrofit and subsequent electrical/mechanical fixings......
