and the other end to ground.

no further testing necessary.
If no spark,
check to ensure the emergency stop switch lanyard clip is
connected.
(See following page for procedure.)
Still no spark,
check the ignition coil.
(See following page for procedure.)
1. Remove the upper engine cover. Remove the spark plug.
Use the provided spark plug wrench, as access to the plug is limited.
Check the condition of the plug. Replace it if rusty or fouled.
2. Check the gap. Set the gap to 0.5 mm (0.020 in). Check for spark by
grounding the plug against an unpainted metal surface of the engine
and pulling the start rope. If spark looks weak, testing with a spark
tester can to determine the strength of the spark.
5. When installing the spark plug boot back on the spark plug, push it
on fully. The boot should be touching the hex part of the spark plug.
