Where does the ignition coil get its power from?
Transformers work on a principle called magnetic induction. A magnetic field moving across a coiled wire will create a voltage in that wire. As it turns out, voltage in a coiled wire also produced a magnetic field. In a traditional transformer, one coil, the primary coil, receives power from an outside source.
Does a ignition coil have constant power?
Re: Coil has constant power Yes, the coil is always connected to the battery. It’s no more of a problem for the wires IN the coil than it is for the wire ON THE WAY to the coil, as long as there is no current flow.
What happens when you replace the coil wire on an engine?
You can replace the secondary coil wire on an engine that uses one with an equal length of vacuum hose and the engine will start and run. The powerful spark will travel down the hollow hose to the distributor cap, but the engine will stall under any load because of the weakened spark.
What to do if your ignition coil is not working?
Older ignition systems used breaker points to interrupt the circuit, while more modern systems “sense” the need for spark by means of a hall-effect switch or crankshaft position sensor. The ignition module uses the information to time spark generation. Test these components if the energized coil fails to function.

Why does my riding mower have no power?
The mower is in great condition and well taken care of. The current issue was that the motor won’t start. I started to tear into this and began by jumping the solenoid. This turns the motor over but does not run. I checked the spark plug and see that there is no spark. My next stop is the coil.
