Code 47
Points to the ignition coils and wiring between them and the controller.
The coils are magneto style.....they make spark anytime the blower wheel passes them. They are grounded by the controller thru a small wire attached on the coil. Code 47 says the controller is not connected to the coils.

My experience tells me this is likely not the problem...and getting to the coils is a major job as the unit has to be completely disassembled....

I would check the white wires going down to the coils. They both have a connector on the upper section side. The controllers on these machines fail a lot.......That is more likely the problem....

It is a PC board in a holder/tray located inside the box where the start/stop is.....One weatherpak style connector......Those connectors can also cause problems....
