John Deere 318

Either coil or the electronic ignition module bad, if you have the TM there is away to check the ignition module and the coil. Now coils are either old style with certain ohm values or the new style with a different ohm valves. The ignition module is under the fly wheel, so if it is bad you must remove the motor to replace.

Also make sure you have checked you safety switches too.

Smiley,

Do you do anything different when you get spark?

If the problem is intermittent, that can be a tough one to solve. Look for loose connectors or wires that are not crimped properly.

The repair manual has a trouble shooting guide. Have you tried following that?
