Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): will not start, new spark, spark plug


Question
I have a Honda 120 motor that will not start. We ran the motor for the past two weeks but the last time it would not start. The spark plug will shock, but it will not spark holding it against the frame. And the shock is very light.

Answer
I have had defective coils, just like you described.  The coil would shock you but not fire/spark across the spark plug.

Did you replace the spark plug?  A $4 plug is cheaper than a $75 ignition module.

Try a brand new spark plug first!
Let me know what happens.
