No it won't.Inside the coil are a lot of copper wires all insulated from each other.

If this insulation fails and the wires inside touch...the coil stops working.

The coil can be detached and tested using a ohmmeter. The leads are placed on the outside prongs of the coil, and the resistance is tested. The coil should show a resistance somewhere between 0.75 and 0.85 ohms.

Why is there yellow goo on your oil cap?

You either have a cracked head gasket or your engine is not running hot enough on many short trips. Either way, it's a problem and it needs to be looked at. The goo also gets down into your engine and will eventually cause it to break down. Change your oil often to keep it from building up in the engine.


What causes a 17 hp engine to stop running when it gets hot?

More than likely the coil is breaking down and needs to be replaced. The other things that could cause this is that there may be debris under the engine cover that is keeping the cooling fins from blowing air accross the cylinder head. This will make the engine get hotter than normal and shut it down. If you remove the metal engine cover it should be obvious if this is the problem.
