Posted by Bill on Tuesday, November 17, 2009:

My neighbor gifted me with a JD 316. He stated that it started running bad then quit. It will not start.

It seems to have good compression on both sides, but it's unable to fire even with a shot of starting fluid. I removed the plugs and noticed that only one seems to be firing. Only one side of the coil will fire. Does this sound like a bad coil? How is the timing accomplished on this engine? Do both spark plugs fire at the same time? How is the timing set, just with the points?

Thanks...

bill
