Kenneth R Cluley 527 #26 Posted January 31, 2022 Did a reverse back to points and battery ignition on my K310. Just had to secure the parts and remove plug from hole with small screw. My trigger was bad and section of stator that provides power for ignition had intermittent operation. Was a lot easier to troubleshoot and cheaper than trigger. About $35.00 for used parts. and pretty simple install. My 2cents if it works now why fix it! The Brian Miller site has some excellent test and troubleshooting for this system. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,298 #27 Posted February 1, 2022 @Aldon started a thread that has a wealth of good information in it. He went the conventional battery ignition route but others chimed in with ideas they have used. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redav72 227 #32 Posted February 4, 2022 Kind of wrapping this thread up. I found a video from the isavetractor guy on converting to points, seems pretty simple. I'll keep that in my back pocket and just keep taking care of the engine as is and flip over when needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff-C175 7,202 #33 Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) I don't think that the condensor on the tin screw into the head is the best place. HEAT is one of the biggest enemies of capacitors. There's too much heat at that location. The best place is where Kohler mounted them, on one of the coil mounting bolts. Not too sure about dropping the hole plug into the engine either. Did I miss something regarding the keyswitch wiring? Edited February 4, 2022 by Jeff-C175 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
