Hi,

I've got a Briggs & Straton engine on a Rover Model 45 Reel mover. i'm having problem starting the engine and just want to find out what are the things i should check for.
Please note that i recently did a thorough cleaning of the carburetor including the fuel tank and managed to use it afterwards so i don't suspect that i did something wrong reassembling the carb.
First thing i suspect now is the spark plug which i haven't replaced for a while. I am yet to test it does spark but not so sure how to test it. My idea is to remove the spark plug and leave it connected to the ignition cable and see if it spark when i cranked it. Will this be right ?
