[QUOTE="Big Sid, post: 42479, member: 2781"] I think the Briggs and Stratten spark advice was valid in their day and when dealing with their simple ignition systems , these on par with original British equipment of 60 years ago . They built millions of stout little motors that often ran for decades , must have known something , this in dust and damp with little service . Their spark tester , had one since a lad and still use it . A clear plastic block with two pointed electrodes buried in it , some considerable distance apart . The spark was clearly visable , color and width . Great fun to use . The plug cable slips on and there's a spring clamp allowing it to grip a fin , provide a perfect ground . All is revealed clear as we're it out in the open . Sid . [/QUOTE]
