Kohler 22hp with weak spark
Hi,
I recently bought a Ranch King Pro that wasn't running when I got it. Previous owner said it ran before he parked it after buying a new one. I had to replace some of the magneto wiring under the shroud due to the mice snacking on them. Everything seems good so far. Only thing I see is that one cylinder has good spark and the other has very minimal spark. I put a little gas in the carb and it did start. Just want to figure out the spark problem before I go any farther. It has a rectifier built onto the blower housing, didn't know if that needed to be hooked up before I can rule out any problems.
Engine numbers are:
model CV22S
spec. 67518
serial # 2814816181
Thanks in advance

One cylinder has great spark and will jump a good ways. The other is so faint, I have to really look closely to even see it spark.

I only started it up with a little gas in the carb. Hasn't run more than that yet. I will put it all together and see if it is running on both cylinders. Thanks. I will let you know what I find out.
