I have a tg1860g gas mower that ran fine in the fall and now will not start. I checked continuity of the seat switch and the neutral switch and both are good. I do not have spark at either plug. Is there a magnetic pickup on the Kawasaki engine or am I missing something. What would cause both coils to not fire? Engine cranks really well. I did not check pto switch, but engine will not crank when the pto is engaged. Any help or trouble shooting tips would be appreciated. Thanks
Tg1860g has no spark
- Thread starter Kenbutts
- Start date
Ken, I scanned a page from the WSM that will tell you how the ignition works. I hope it helps you figure things out.

Have you replaced the spark plugs? Sometime you will not get spark if the tips are not gaped properly or if theres a ton of gunk at the end of the plug. If it looks black then its no good.
TG1860G has no spark
I also have a TG1860G that started to barely run after 30 minutes or so last Fall. Now it won't start at all and just like Kenbutts I checked the safety switches, plugs and coils - switches are good, plugs are great and there is 12V at the coils but no spark. I also assume it is the (very expensive) Igniter - where under all those shrouds is it located??? I hate to take everything apart only to find it is relatively easy to get at!

If you have 12V to the coil and you break the connection do you get a spark?
If not you have a bad coil.

I just had the same problem. It is a very simple fix, at least mine was. It is a fuse that blown it is located near the battery. You will find 3 fuses its the middle fuse 10 amp. I orderd 2 new coil pack thinking that was the problem have not got them should be here friday now I have 2 coil packs I don't need. Mine runs great now,
