OK,
Got this one in as a non sarter.
Carb was clogged so it got cleaned up and tested good.
Checked the spark , none
Pulled the kill wire off, still no spark
Replaced the magneto with a genuine B & S # 593872.
Still no spark.
Checked the kill wire & it is open in the on position & closed in the off position all good
Spun by hand , kill wire off no spark
Tried another magneto same story.
Just for the heck of it tried with the magneto flipped ( HT lead down ) and get a very faint spark when spun by hand.
However it is very faint and happens kill wire on & kill wire off
Tried an after market magneto same story again.
Magnets snap the coil to the block quite strongly so I am assuming the flywheel is OK.
Pulled the coil closer 0.005" again the same story
Can not see a spark with a 3 prong tester but go get one with the red tester
Any Ideas short of replacing the flywheel because I am out of them ?
