No spark simplicity lawn mower

Answer 1

1) Verify that the problem is, indeed, a lack of spark. Do this by removing the plug from its hole, and attaching the plug back to the wire. Then, take a length of wire with large alligator clips on each end, and clip one end to the threads on the plug, the other end to a stationary petal piece on the block. Pull the starter cord (without touching the plug set up!!) If you see a spark, then you have mis-diagnosed the problem.

2) Inspect your plug wire for damage, perhaps the plug peice is detached from the wire.

3) Inspect the Magnet thingy that the other end of the plug wire is attached to. Perhaps the wire is detached. It could be that it has accumulated dirt or rust. Maybe it needs an adjustment.

4) Check your kill switch.
