Tractor won't fire
So I have a craftsman riding lawn mower that I changed the ignition switch, coil (changed 3×), new spark plug, and new starter and my lawn mower still won't fire. What should I do next?

If it was built after 1986, the only ignition component that generates a spark is the ignition module/coil. There is a small kill wire coming off the coil along with the plug wire. Disconnect that small wire and see if you get a spark. This is assuming one cylinder and one coil with the air gap on the coil/flywheel at .010.
If you can't get a spark the coil is likely bad. If you get a spark and the engine running, you'll have to choke it to kill the engine.
** If you're using those "Dozen for a Dollar coils from Ebay" the three you put on may have been bad. And the starter has nothing to do with it firing if it spins over.
