6 hp Briggs & Stratton

Was working fine until this week. Started up and then died and wouldn't
restart. No spark at all. Any suggestions? TIA


How did you test for spark?


Pulled the plug, opened the throttle to open the kill switch, held the
plug against the engine (as it was getting dark) and pulled the starter
cord a few times. No visible spark. Maybe I should get someone to hold
it while I pull? Just to make double sure? g
