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

The engine will not run without spark. Take off
the shroud and look at the induction timer. On
mine, a nesting mouse prevented spark ignition.

Did that. All I found was a dried up snail.

Why don't you tell us *everything* you've done, so that we don't have
to go through lots of useless work on our part, like Don just did.

When you posted only 2 1/2 lines, I thought you knew nothing, but
maybe you don't understand how things work.

LOL, what I know about Briggs & Stratton is darn close to "nothing" but
I see (now) that its fairly simple. My bad, I suspected there might be
a common problem. Just removed the coil, (after using myself as the
Guinea Pig and getting nothing) and I'm off to the local LM shop to see
if I can get it tested.
