Also, check for an improper spark gap or dirty points, and set the correct spark gap and clean the points. If the condenser insulation is worn or short-circuiting, replace the condenser. Lastly, a broken or short-circuiting spark plug wire could be the issue, requiring replacement of the defective spark plug wiring.

If the spark plug is bluish-white, check for insufficient compression (repair or replace the engine if needed), air leaks (correct them), or clogged carburetor jets (clean the carburetor). If there's no spark at the tip, check the transistor ignit...
