I pulled the number 1 spark plug and grounded it to the engine block and I have no spark. I also held it about .25 inches away and still nothing. I just bought a spark plug tester but had to fly back to work and didn't have time to use it. I will check when I get back. Just hope I can get it running so I can go on my fishing trip next weekend.
Was I checking for spark incorrectly? I always thought to just pull the number 1 plug from the engine, leave it attached to the spark plug wire and ground it to the engine. Maybe I did it wrong.
