night. You should see a bright blue spark. If there is a yellow or weak spark,
change the spark plug.
Check the HT lead, (This is the thicker lead that fits onto the spark plug.) Dam-
age can occur to this, causing a short and grounding out the power to the plug.
look for cracks and perished rubber
Check the Ignition Coil
Using an ohmmeter, check the resistance between the side terminals of the coil.
Do this with all of the wires to the coil disconnected.
It should read 0.75 to 0.81 ohms.
Then check the resistance between either side terminal and the center high ten-
sion terminal.

If the coil fails these tests, replace it.
Starter Fluid
Walmart sell an inexpensive Engine Starter Fluid for less than
$3.
Simply spray a jet for 3-4 seconds into the air intake (where
the
air filter is). Then start the engine. As long as you have a
spark,
the engine should fire up, and it will draw the fuel in from the
tank.
