Starts right up and runs fine for several minutes then dies. Cleaned tank, replaced fuel pump, rebuilt carb and spark plug. Suspect coil but would like to test ignitor. Is that possible? Also, where is coil located on fe290d-bs08 engine; side or back of motor? Thanks.

I don't know of any test for the ignitor. The coil is under the flywheel cover, but it's probably the ignitor. ....

Thanks. Spoke with a parts man at a local dealer asking about a ignitor test. Was told to let machine run until it cut off then place an ice cube on the ignitor and try to start. Thought he might high at first but tried it and sure enough it fired right and continued to run for several minutes after I removed the cube. I repeated the test several times with the same result. Might come in handy for you in the future. ....

Yes, sometimes they need heat to work and other times they need cold and sometimes they won't work at all. Pesky little things............... ....
