It could be the pick up coil that the flywheel regulates.
The only thing that the flywheel does for ignition is hold the magnets. It could be the ignition coil that is bad. I would remove the engine cowling and find the small black wire that is connected to the coil, that is the ground that kills the engine. It is connected to the ignition switch as well as the safety swithes. With that wire disconnected see if you have spark, if you don't it could be a bad coil. A small engine repair shop can test the coil. If you do have spark with the wire disconnect you may have an issue with a safety switch.
Did you pull that flywheel? If so, then yes, it could be the issue. If no, then most likely it is something else.
Possibly the flywheel but that is one of the later choices when there's no spark. Get a service and maintenance manual for the unit and follow the trouble shooting chart.
I would start with the shut down circuit is still engaged, next is the coil is not working before I took the fly wheel off. There are several different designs of firing the spark plug and you need the manual for your unit.
- Setting the Flywheel timing on a Honda 150cc Lawnmower Engine? I took an old Honda G150 apart and am now putting it back together and I'm not sure how to get the flywheel timed properly. Can anyone just give me a basic walk through on how to time the flywheel?
- I have a Honda HRX217 push mower. Backfired when trying to start it, now it won't start? It was running, then I shut it off to open and close a gate, and when I went to start it again there was a really loud backfire and now it won't start. It will sound like it's almost about to start but not. Then get progressively weaker each pull. I changed the spark plug and cleaned the air filter. Any ideas?
- I have a Honda GSV 190 mower engine with a broken starter rope and stud stuck in starter that I can't remove. Any ideas would be great When removing the nuts holding the recoil starter in place the nut on the front of the starter is stuck. When I try to remove it the whole stud come out of the engine. Leaving the engine cover stuck to the starter preventing me from replacing the rope. I have tried everything I can think of to remove it with no luck. Heres what it looks like. http://www.ereplacementparts.com/bolt-stud-h425mm-p-554740.html
- I have a 2015 Honda rancher that had a crack in the air box. It got so much dirt through the air filter it got into my piston. So it now Burns oil and I was wonder will it ever stop smoking. I know I have to rebuild the engin so don't even say it. And how long will it take before it losses power.
