I have an old cub cadet B&S powered snowblower 19 cubic inch, recoil start and NO SPARK! I have tried a new plug, dusting off the flywheel magnet and coil reset air gap, pulled flywheel and reset points, check plunger movement, pulled stop wire off of carb control plate, and talked very nice to the old rat. STILL NO SPARK! Any ideas, any way to test the coil or condenser?

I think most of the Pros would recommend you replace the point/condenser with an ignition module and forget the points and condenser, however check the link below for troubleshooting, disreguard the outboard reference. Have a good one Geo
