Hi All,
My Briggs and Stratton 12f802 won't start and I've decided that I would like to learn about small engines, so I'm attempting to repair myself instead of taking it to the local repair shop. This is the first engine I've worked on - i'm learning by watching youtube videos...
I've replaced the spark plug, removed and cleaned the carburetor.
From what I can see so far, even with a new spark plug, i'm not getting a spark. I don't have a spark plug tester - I'm grounding the spark plug against the case and pulling the cord and can't see a spark. Is there a better way to test?
I thought it was as issue with the ignition coil - i've removed it and tested with a multimeter and get around 4.7k ohms - which is in the correct bounds working (2.5k -5k) - is 4.7k too high - should I replace anyway?
I can't see any physical damage to the flywheel, so I'm not sure what else it could be - unless the new spark plug is faulty which is unlikely..
Am i just not testing correclty? Anything else I should look at?
