Hi NormK,
Thanks for the warm welcome. I've been getting straight to work but struggling with spark. I plugged the spark plug into a different mower and it went no problems. There is current going through the spark wire (you can get a zap) but it doesnt want to spark. I've gapped it at 0.028". Any ideas? All i can think of is the magento needing more spin than i can provide while viewing the spark plug to create enough voltage to spark.
