- Honda Gx120 Coil amzn.to/3eYbmBz
Today we got a Honda GX120 and it has a random no spark issue. it will run for bit and then all of a sudden stop sparking. There is a few things I should have down first but this video will go over everything on the Ignition side that you need to look at from doing the air gap test. Verifying continually on the kill switch and measuring resistance on the Primary and secondary coil.

I have the same problem with my Honda at the moment . Spark then no spark . Ordered a new coil yesterday . You just confirmed what I thought . 🙏
that was a sweet trouble shoot ! Its always gratifying to hunt down a mechanical problem and fix it !
Well done, sorted my Chinese Honda knock off, badly rusted surfaces and flywheel and some on the coil. Thank you . sorted in about 15 minutes
Nice, short, and to the point. Just what I was looking for, thanks
Small engine repair is a great little hobby.
+ManicMechanic007 i like working on small engines
Can be fucking frustrating too
thank you man, Just got my Honda gx200 working again thanks to this video
Excellent diagnosis. Thank you. Heading outside to work on my dad's now!
Follow up: ended up being low on oil. I guess the drain plug was bumped enough to allow a slow leak to start. Put oil in and it fired right up.
these videos are awesome... especially for someone like me - i want to learn but am limited in the opps - i moved to a very small town that is about 2 hours from anywhere (and it appears about 40 years back in time).
Your in my home town!
Thanks, great video, good detail, appreciated that it failed on first try and showed how to keep with it.
Now that’s a nugget very helpful thank you
Thanks! Build up of rust was the issue causing no spark on my pressure washer. Still not starting but I will figure it out. Thanks for the video.
Thanks, that was the problem I had
Thank you sir, just what I was looking for 👍
Thanks for the video. I have the same exact problem on my Honda G200. Some sparks then nothing. A bit more with a new condenser but still only at the first crank. Time to change the expensive coil then.
Turn the points ignition system in to full electronic system. If you don’t want to, make sure you clean the points and set the correct gap. I don’t really bother with replacing points ignition parts like the condenser because those are obsolete parts.
Thanks for useful videos my pump is brand-new but brake cam shaft after change doesn't work god , only runs by choke and up and down rpm ,overheat and i can't find good mechanic for Honda in my city i think the hard plastic before carburetor is broken i need to go for chek that one
Thank you for your video, it clear some doubts I had.
How did you or what did you use to polish the magnet? I’m having same issue. Replaced the coil and still no start but the magnet does have rust on it. Thank you.
Awesome video brother
Problem I have with my generator is with the wire connected from on/off switch to the Coil the generator has no spark but if I disconnect that wire from the coil then the generator has spark when I turn it over. Could it be that there’s a breaker that engaged the ignition system to cut out the wire going to the coil which cuts the spark?
Is there enough engine oil? oil switch or crankcase oil sensor (got stuck)might have malfunctioned. Make sure oil enough, then disconnect ground wire from ignition coil
@@adeyemibabatunde1814 I discovered the oil sensor was bad so I just unplugged it. Didn’t have oil sensors back in the day so really don’t care to spend money replacing a part that is irrelevant to a machine. Unless someone knows nothing about mechanics then I wouldn’t waste the money on the part
Thanks Jerry your video helped immensely, my mate had tried everything
A couple of my Honda engines have the "low oil" sensor on the side, if the oil is low or the sensor bad.... no spark. But I'm guessing you knew that already.
+roguesquatcher the low oil sensor was actually bypassed. the issue was the it would run and then stop and no spark. I didn't suspect the coil at first because we originally did have spark
jerry bskorner the phantom coil issue is something I'll have to watch for... thanks for the heads up on that one.
@@TestDontguess
Thanks
What did you use to clean the magnet, ignition coil core and kill switch
There is evidence in this video that the old coil is working after the first reconnection. The first pull shows sparks, then the spark plug moves out of being grounded so no spark. The claim that the coil is bad, I don't think so. Check the video again. Spark was there and it should be there if it was properly ground.
Good eye!
@BSK Garage
What can be used to clean the corrosion and rust of the magnet, ignition coil iron ,kill switch etc?
Scotch Brite pad or some fine grit sandpaper.
I have a old 70s 8hp Briggs and Stratton on an 70s Snowblower. I have done everything other than check for spark. When I did, I had no spark whatsoever. What would that issue be?
Ignition coil, corroded magnetic surface on the flywheel
Oil switch faulty, spark plug wire and boot
Bad spark plug
That's what those coils always do to me when they go bad too. they spark when they want to, but then cut out all the time
+bfgman422 gotta hate the phantom coils
@@TestDontguess cuhh
What kind of tool did u use to measure the air gap between the flywheel and the ignition coil
TF Merk feeler gauge
Expired Credit card can be used
You spoke about continuety where do you put prongs
YES THAT CORROSION ON COIL DOES KILL THE FIELDS.. CLEAN THAT CORROSION
What can be used to clean the corrosion?
@@adeyemibabatunde1814 use wire brush or wire wool or a glass fibre cleaning stick
Are coils prone to failure on these small engines? I have a Tecumseh LV195EA that is not old but is not making spark.
I'm wondering if it was just the boot.
27 hp kohler command on exmark..running then cut out..not spark..???on both cylinders..Checked two main fusable leads...engine cranks over..juice with key on ,on other fusable leader...Im thinking both coils rarely go out together..how to I check the stator?
another great video
How do you stop the fly wheel from turning when you take it off?
lock the piston with a rag
Could it have been the spark plug wire
Good stuff 👍👍
My generator (new predator 2000) simply got left out in the rain for one night while not running & now it won't start. Changed fresh fuel & oil level is fresh & still no spark. Ran fine before getting wet. Any suggestions?
Do you know wats going on when the spark plug gets wet ?
What make and model ? Thanks
what is the gap?
Can I put gasoline in the engine to start it
I have a big kosher genoratetor and no fire
"This" was all dirty? What was the "this?"
Hi! i have a ridiculous question. i have to fix an engine that has the same problem but i cant find a coil replacement. the engine is made in Argentina and things as they are its dificult to find a new coil. Can i use a honda coil? And also do I have to replace or add anything to my engine. Imagine that the broken one has nothing to make the spark, no coil, no spark plug, nothing. Thanks!
Sometimes you gotta get creative, if the coil is roughly the same size there is no harm in trying and seeing what happens
jerry bskorner thanks! I tried but couldnt get it to work. Guess i have to keep experimenting
Where do you buy your parts from
try cleaning that rust
What can be used to clean the rust
Holy shit i knew it mines sparks and dies when inget down the street
ok
I didn't see you check the fuse!!??
That's because there isn't one........... There is no power being generated so there is no point for a fuse
@@TestDontguess Oh..... In that case pull off the spark plug wire(off the spark plug) turn it upside down, take a flat screw driver, unscrew the internal part of the plug. Tell me what YOU find.?
