340/5 ccw ignition coils

Post by frank700 »

Hello Guys, I finally found a sled to add to my collection. 74 400 with 746 miles. Question. Is there a difference with the coils beside the 12 volt wire color white/red? They have different part #'s. I am going to replace the coils. PTO side had some charring. Thanks for your help!

They are the same, just the wire colors.

Thank you! Would you know the jetting for a VM30 Mikuni carb swap on that particular engine? Thanks!

Deere never used the Mikuni on these, so you are on your own. Probably in the low 200s on the main and 25 on the pilot, but that is a guess.
