What causes no spark to the spark plug?
What causes no spark to the spark plug?
Misfiring can be caused by loss of spark; imbalanced air/fuel mixture; or loss of compression. Loss of spark is caused by anything that prevents coil voltage from jumping the electrode gap at the end of the spark plug. This includes worn, fouled or damaged spark plugs, bad plug wires or a cracked distributor cap.

Can a Briggs and Stratton lawn mower have no spark?
My Brigggs & Stratton lawn mower engine (model 127802) has been running good. After running for 15 minutes one day I shut it down. Five minutes later it would not start. Checking I found no spark (I can hold the spark plug wire during the test, no shock). I removed the kill wire from the magneto armature, no improvement. Gap to the flywheel is OK.
Where is the grounding tab on Briggs and Stratton no spark?
When the coil is mounted correctly the grounding wire has to wrap around the coil to reach the grounding tab, and it must be connected before mounting the coil since when the coil is mounted the grounding tab is hidden.
What’s the resistance of a Briggs and Stratton spark wire?
Resistance to ground for the spark wire lead is 4500 ohms. Checked for spark with and without a spark plug. Spark is adequately clean and dry (no oil). Tried a replacement armature, no improvement.
What to do if your Briggs and Stratton ignition is not working?
If no spark appears, check for broken wires, shorts, grounds or a defective stop switch. Once you have confirmed that the stop switch is working, reconnect the spark plug lead. If your ignition start or push button start needs replacing, consult a Briggs & Stratton dealer near you.
