Now I am at the point of running it. This 1816 has the original 16hp Tecumseh motor and it runs great...when it runs. I am having the issue of it losing spark as soon as it gets warmed up (5 mins or so). It is not an issue of the engine seizing, fuel, or anything mechanically preventing it from running. It appears the ignition is breaking down as soon as it gets warm. I can come back an hour or so later and she will fire right up and run until it looses spark again. Short of replacing the engine with a B&S or something, does anyone know what I can do to fix this? I still need to do some testing with the ohm meter to pin it down to the igniton module or the stator but it must be one of the two. (on this Tecumseh motor these are the ONLY two things that make up the ignition) Did I mention Tecumseh is out of business and it is EXTREMELY hard to find parts? Your suggestions will be appreciated.</p></blockquote><p></p>
