| I mowed with the tractor yesterday but only at about 2000 RPM and it was fine but a bit rough. Over that and it skips, sputters and backfires. |

No the universal module will not fix a bad coil, but it will eliminate any issues with points or condenser.
You can buy one for just over $15 on e-bay, it takes 5 minutes to install and everything can be put back to orginal if it does not solve the problem.
Worth a try?

| It was a wise man who said “Try the easy things first.” Either the condenser or the the connection was bad. Changing it solved my problem. Thanks everyone for the help. Much appreciated. |

| Are you running the original engine in that tractor, Denis? My ole 13hp finally got too tired to press on leading me to have to repower to a Briggs 16 hp. Gosh that was 6-7 years ago. Hard to believe I’ve owned my 3414 for almost 13 years now. |

| Watch that back firing...I’ve lost a few welsh plugs over the years. My brother pretty much killed his engine after blowing out his plug without knowing. Sucked in a ton of dust. |

| It is original as far as I know. I paid $1,000 for it 12 years ago. It came with a mowing deck, tiller, snow plow, molding plow, grading blade, rock rake (homemade), and sickle bar. Best money I ever spent. I did lose the welsh plug a few years back, but caught it in time and got away with honing the cylinder and replacing the rings. |
