I replaced / swapped out the coils on the Honda GX 690 a few weeks ago. What the problem was, was that i could wash homes with the xjet but couldn't use the surface cleaner for the concrete. Using the surface cleaner with the smaller holes made the engine work harder, under load? One coil was not firing? Couldn't tell that when running xjet? well i swapped them both out, and made a quick vid. super easy to do. The coils were 110 bucks each. Manatee down in Florida is becoming a cool place to get stuff! The coils fixed the problem. Also a neat trick I learned for the gap on the coils.

Thanks for the video Mike. When I used to fix and repair small engines (back when it was real easy) I would sand the fly wheel so most of the rust was gone. I would make sure the magnets were free of rust to help with the spark.
Here's a good ole boy showing how to clean everything. Another thing I do with just about all the metal in our truck is spray rust inhibitor on them weekly. I know we can't do that to the fly wheel but once a year is better than nothing!

Thanks for sharing that vid Brett! I bet all I had to do was take the coils off and clean the bottoms?
