Hi all

I am having trouble getting spark on my Victa Power Torque. I've pulled the engine off and gotten down to the ignition coil. Fixed it all up so that I know there is continuity all the way to the spark plug.

So two things:

First of all the spark plug cover does not have any metal inside it for the plug to click into like it does on my other mower. When I got the mower the cover was ruined and all it had was the screw that goes into the end of the coil wiring. I've replaced the cover, inserted a new spark plug, tested continuity, all fine in that regard.

So, the photo below shows how I have it set up to test the spark. Am I doing something wrong here? Maybe that's not steel I have the plug against.

The resistance on the coil is reading around 4k, is this good?

Thanks. wink
