I own a Honda HRS 21 selp propelled mower 6015998 I bought and have used since 1986 or so...engine is the GXV110...over the years the throttle control cable has required regular adjustment at the beginning of each year when maintenance is performed...Now the engine will not start and a local repair shop says I need a new "igniter"... is this what used to be called the points? Oil has been regularly, a new spark plug every year, stabilator in the fall etc. Can someone help me get this wonderful old machine running...
