| Advice on Repairing TCI Ignition System of Kipor/Honda Inverter Generator |

The Briggs kit is #394970 and it may be magnetically triggered as it fits right onto the magneto ignition coil. I remember mounting mine on the pole pieces. However, don't fear, the aftermarket kit for the chainsaw was totally independent and could be mounted anywhere although my engine mechanic buddy suggested to mount it inside the intake plenum on the clean air side of the air filter. I have never been happy with the Honda generators!!!! I have used the Hondas all the way up to their 6KW models in remote broadcasting units and they all sucked!!!! The big ones had the carb fuel overflow directed into the crankcase. The float needle and seat in the carb was trash and the crankcase would fill up with fuel, then when the connecting rod(s) blew right through the side of the crankcase the fire was HUGE!!! After endless repairs I pulled out the 4KW and the 6KW, jammed the throttles wide open and had some laughs watching them self destruct!!!! I hated them!!! |

There is guy in this group that specializes in coils. They may also a dedicated group for your unit. Hopefully you'll get more specs on that coil And let us know,we all like knowledge https://groups.io/g/SharingSmallEngineSecrets Doug |

The chainsaw module look up 'ProLine Ignition Module Chip'. I found several on Ebay. Assuming your coil is good I think you may be able to wire one of these modules for use in place of your possibly defective module. it would probably be connected to your 'ignition power' lead and not the trigger lead. I'll have to review your schematic again. Most of the Honda Inverter generators blow up the inverter module which cost more than the unit is worth. |

Small engines—I have a love-hate relationship with them! Thankfully, I only have to deal with the issues occasionally, but the problems are rarely simple or logical. It's like they’re designed to defy reason and knowledge! ...:) can relate to the "secret handshake..." |

I have a 10 year old Honda 4 stroke mower that gets used every 3-4 weeks. Stale petrol problems and I used to hate trying to Start the bloody thing. Runs great when it is warmed up. Then I tried "Start ya Bastard" https://www.repco.com.au/gifts-merchandise-apparel/drinkware-coolers/drink-bottles-coolers/nulon-start-ya-bastard-energy-drink-330ml-940004502/p/A5745077 Now I temporarily pull off the air filter, give it a small squirt and it starts first time every time. |
