Kawasaki Brushcutter

[pycoed]

Can anyone suggest a source for a coil for a Kawasaki TG33 brushcutter? Machine cut out dead todaymid cut (after taking it 160 miles to my son's new house:mad1:) after 1 minute's use. Restarted for another 10 secs , then dead. Checked plug lead: no spark.

Disconnected kill wire: still no spark.

Shortened plug lead & exposed copper core: still no spark.

 

So, after many years of faultless service I think I need a new coil, but where from?

Inherited machine from my ex boss as a non runner about 8 years ago. Cleaned carb & all was well - this has done a load of work over the last 8 years & worked perfectly for 4 hours just 2 days ago at home. Son asked me to bring it with me on a weekend visit & it conks before any work being done - sod's law in action:thumbdown:

Wow it is a bit pricey!

Left the machine in the sun for 3 hours while we downed some small trees & leylandii, then billhooked them ready for chipping. Before we started on the grass with hand shears(!!!) since I hadn't brought a sickle with me, I tried the brushcutter with the plug out. I thought I could see a faint spark, so closed the plug gap to 15 thou & gave it a whirr. It ran fine for 20 mins then stopped dead again. Left it 5 mins & it started again& ran for 30 mins then stopped dead. Repeated 5 or 6 times & job done , but now no spark at all again. I'll investigate further when I get home tomorrow, but at least I didn't take it to Banbury for nothing!

Thanks for the info anyway.
