Someone gave me a used push lawnmower with a Tecumseh 4-stroke engine.
It has no points or condensor under the fly wheel, so I assume that
means it has electronic ignition.


Is there a clear way to test the ignition coil/assembly to see if it
is good or not?


I get no spark, afaict, using an inline neon spark plug tester.




pull the kill wire off the coil and check for spark again, if
still none then it is the coil. resistance measurements are a waste
of time. isolate the component, then there is nothing else.
