I'm trying to resurrect this old Tecumseh engine and getting no spark.
I replaced the points and gapped to .020.
My meter shows me they are opening and closing electrically.
I also replaced the coil after this picture was taken.
The condensor is not shorted so it is not grounding anything out.
The engine rolls over at normal speed using the starter.
I'm not sure how to set the air gap on this setup, but what else
could I have missed? The whole mower mower sat outside for
about 10 years without being ran so it needs some work.
It's a Simplicity Broadmoor.
