If you have no spark with the plug grounded to the metal engine,, do some digging & remove the kill wire from the coil & try again,, If you have spark,, Look close @ the wire & the kill switch,,, If no spark,, You'll need a coil...(I trust you tried a New spark plug, Right???) Sorry... Roger

With no kill wire attached to the coil,, I'm afraid you need a coil assy,, Sorry.... Roger
