Onan Ignition Module Gone Bad! Real Bad!

[1966vette]

Hello Wheelhorse / Toro owners!

I'm having problems w/ my 16hP Onan Wheelhorse 616-Z ZTR.

The engine runs fine when cold but shuts off when it gets hot.
I already replaced the coil because it tested as defective but the cutoff problems still exist.

I ran 12 volts to the + side of the coil & still no spark. This indicates that the oil pressure sending until is not the problem.

I'm looking for any tips that maybe helpful when I remove the blower housing cover & flywheel.

I'm also in the market for an ignition module for the Onan P216V / 10873A engine.

Thanks!
Andy

I have a Wheel Horse 416-H with a Onan 16 HP.
I had the same problem, when the engine got hot it would turn off just like turning off the ignition. I changed out the coil, which did not fix the problem. I then changed out the ignition trigger underneath the flywheel.
Its been running great since (15 hours plus).
The coil and the ignition trigger were both around $80 -$90 each thru Onan,
but Wheel Horse was even more expensive.
Only tip I can offer is try and allow enough time to disassemble and reassembly all at once.
I did so that my short memory was still fresh enough to reassemble everything.
I was pretty pokey when I did the fix, but still only took a couple of hours.
Some sought of puller for the flywheel would be handy too.

Sorry but I just noticed 1966vette post was an old post 05/29/10.

I just got a 416 hydro with 2 cyl onan, no spark at all. What would you advise me to try first? Do these have points and condenser?
