Additional Information

Ignition coil 590454 replaces part numbers 591932, 799381, and 802574. It connects to the flywheel and spark plug, generating the voltage needed to ignite the fuel-air mixture during engine start-up and operation.

If your lawn equipment won?t start, runs inconsistently, or stalls mid-use, a faulty ignition coil could be the cause. Replacing it helps restore reliable ignition performance and overall engine efficiency.

Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire and make sure the engine is cool. Use a screwdriver and spark plug socket to access and replace the coil. Refer to the How to replace a lawn mower ignition coil on a flathead engine repair guide for step-by-step instructions. Wear work gloves to protect your hands during installation.

My mower started right away after replacing part
December 16, 2021|Bob7, ohio

I had to get the spacing between the fly wheel and this part right. Afterward the mower started on the first pull. I used paper to space the magnets and coil. About .01 inch and the fly wheel turned without scraping the coil. Notebook paper .0025 inch , 4 pieces on each arm of coil to set spacing. Tight screws then turn fly wheel to remove paper and check fly wheel turns without scraping. If not add papers one at a time until no scraping.
