Answer
Hi Tonya -

Try this test -

Remove a spark plug boot and insert a screwdriver into the boot until it wedges against the terminal. Hold the screwdriver shaft 1/4" away from any metal surface while someone cranks the engine. Do not touch any metal surface while doing this.

Please tell me if there is a spark jumping across the 2 metal surfaces.

Let me know -
aloha
