This is on a neighbor's mower. SV735-0016. Kohler Courage twin cyl 26HP.
Looking at the exploded view in the book vs online doesn't match, the online one shows things the manual that came with it don't. and online diagrams skip several "key numbers"
This damn thing has been a headache since the last couple mowings last fall. Sometimes crank/no start, sometimes starts right up, sometimes dies 1/2 way thru the mowing job. Mower is 2x too big for the yard it services, only takes ~20 minutes to mow the whole yard.
Right at 500 hours.
I havent been able to get over there as readily as i used to, so neighbor had another one start checking it out. They came and got me and it started when I got on it. Twice. Now it is dead. No spark. I'm surprised at how wide of a gap between magnets (which are on outside of flywheel, unlike the Magnum series) and coils.
I certainly wouldn't expect both coils to die simultaneously. Ive had twin cyl engines with individual coils that will run on one cyl. before when the coil on the opposite side dies. Nothing on either coil here.
There's a red wire and a white one, that come off the coils and goes under the flywheel at the front of the block, that I assume goes to this module that is called out in the owners manual but which I cannot see.
PN 24-584-36-s shows discontinued, superseded and superseded number also discontinued/back ordered.
I see listings for some kind of "conversion module(?)" which apparently consists of 2 new coils and a small wiring harness for the 22-23hp versions but no word if it will fit the 26hp.
Who knows what about this overcomplicated system?
