[replyingto=domindart]domindart[/replyingto]You can even stick a screwdriver into the plug boot and hold it next to the head about 1/8" if it has spark it should jump from the driver to the head..No need for a new plug if your just testing for spark.

The fuel may be old. I'm going to replace the air filter cause its not THAT dirty but looks can be decieving, its got old dirt in the paper element so I'll replace that. And get some fresh gas.

I would take the float bowl off and get the gunk out of it,,prolly full of water and dirt,,then replace the gas,,its a half inch socket(bolt)on the bottom of the bowl,,just make sure the rubber gasket and little red washer go back where they belong.To get to the coil you will have to take the metal cover over the flywheel off,,a few bolts and you will see the coil.But if you got spark now,,Id focus on the air/fuel.
BTW-You can even blow some carb cleaner and compressed air up in where the jet(float bowl bolt)screws into the carb when you take it off.Alot of times dirt gets in there and it wont run right.Make sure the little bolt is nice and clean also,,it may have a hole or two in it,,poke them out!
If you decide to blow air up in there be careful to hold the float pin in place or it could slide out then your needle valve will be history...lol

Pour out the existing gas and fill it up with fresh adding about 2 ounces of Berryman's B12 Total Fuel System treatment. Drain the bowl as mentioned and from now on make sure you dry the machine off after you hose it down. You have some signs of rust from putting it away wet which if you continue doing is just going to kill the machine early. All of my Briggs powered equipment lasts 30+ years and rarely gives you trouble if you keep them clean and dry.
The Tecumsa on the other hand will usually run great until they throw a rod with but a moments notice.
