What kind of oil or grease should you use?

I had no spark from the wire.

I ohmed out the coil to with the small wire to gnd 1.1 ohms, gnd to spark plug wire 18K ohms.

I replaced the small 1.5"X1.5" module with a Stens Mega fire II.

I had a small spark from just the wire to cylinder head (no spark plug).  I scraped some paint to get a better ground connection for the mega fire II module wire and then I was seeing decent spark with the spark plug inserted.

I put the unit back together and tried firing, I was having some wierd firing and missfiring.  I swapped the connection on the Mega fire and the thing started up right away and was running like the old days.

By the way for whatever reason my key switch now works in the opposite manner,  on is off and off is on.

The 1.5"x1.5"  magneto module was bad.  The guys at this site and lawnsite.com helped diagnose.

I was able to order an aftermarket module for $18.00 vs $110.00.

I have been very happy with this toro.  I used it in Burlington VT for the last 12 years on a paved driveway about 70' long 15' wide.

I recently moved to Saratoga NY and have a similar driveway. 

It gets down to pavement no problem.  The only service I had to do during it's lifetime , besides the above, was replacing the rubber augers once, and the plastic skid plate on the bottom.

I have the suzuki 141cc engine and this thing is bulletproof.

Blowin snow, thanks
