    Ok guys problem solved. Bought two new ignition modules and installed the and it fire right up. Thanks for all the helpful advice!!! It still blows my mind that they both went at the same time.

    The only wire to the coils(kohler calls em ignition modules) is the white wire to ground only(kill). Does current pass through the magnet on the flywheel or is it just the trigger? I'm sorry for my stupidity but I'm not understanding how the magneto feeds the coils. I know my system is 20amp...

J chamberlain how do I check the mag. Coming out behind the fly wheel there is two white wires and they...
