Kohler engine points for the K series are the same thing if you take them off the little mount..now as for the pin, you might be able to fashion a Kohler one to make it work...
Just do without the points and use a Nova II Electronic Transistorized Ignition Module. It is very easy to put on. I have 3 Sears garden tractors and I have done 2 of them this way and they run perfect. Just make sure you plug the holes up where the points was or you will have a major oil leak. Google this product and you can find more info.
If you have a machine shop nearby they can make you a rod. Or, if you're like me and have a lathe and a horizontal mill in your basement you can do it yourself!
If you can located a set of points, run a coil like a kohler has, or if you have the points set up, you should be able to convert to electronic ignition like you do with the old B&S engines..Its a little module that goes inbetween your points and coil and tells it to fire...Ive never converted to this...I myself would buy the kohler points, mount them, and then either make a new points rod, or try a kohler one..Or you convert to electronic ignition from the 1967-1979 stuff from any of the 8hp and bigger sears tractors....it will work if you get all the right stuff..
could you give more detail how you rig it up
i was told by the guy at the lawn mower shop i couldnt use this if i have a cdi coil ?
as of now i dont have a coil that runs off the flywheel and the coil that was on it when new was bolted to the outside of the flywheel
any help is welcome
Yea if your coil is under the flywheel the Nova will not work. The two that I have done has the coil on the outside of the flywheel on top. The coil under the flywheel is very hard to find. I got another tractor that has that type and it went bad. I finally found one after 2 months of looking. Sorry I was no help.
