Engine is Kohler MV18S opposed twin:
Crankcase was full of oil and gas mixture so drained the oil, refilled with new oil. Engine started and ran fine while I looked for any gas leaking around fuel pump and watched for evidence of carb over flowing. After running for several minutes shut engine and loosened carb mounting bolts to check for gas dripping from carb. Let sit for couple of hours and gas was dripping slightly from carb and bottom of fuel pump looked wet so decided to replace fuel pump and float needle in carb. Reassembled everything and now no spark. I removed ground - kill wire from ignition and still no spark on either plug. Tried different plug with same results. Can the ignition module just fail like this? Not sure what else it could be since ran fine prior to shutting down to fix fuel concerns. I never turned the engine over without one of the plugs installed in the head and wire connected.
