Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): no spark, briggs and stratton, hp type


Question
I own a Locke Mower
Serial # 10-X-484
with a B & S Model # 233452 / 9 HP
type: 0327-0
Code: 7803301
I mowed my lawn with this machine a few weeks ago and when I went to start it the other day nothing happened, went thru the fuel system but there doesn't seem to be any problem there so I bought a spark tester and tried it yesterday and low and behold, NO SPARK!!!
I would like to know what I need to do from here , would be glad to send pics of engine if needed. Thanks in Advance, Dave

Answer -
 Hello Dave:

 Disconnect the Shutoff Wire from the Coil. Do you have Fire Now? If Yes, then a Safety Switch is your Problem. If No, then The Coil/Ignition Module/Igniter is Bad. Send me the Model, Type and Code Numbers Off of the Engine, Please. With these I can Locate a Breakdown/IPL and Better Assist you. Hope theis Helps. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Thanks.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 Hello Dave:

  Disconnect the Shutoff Wire from the Coil. Do you have Fire Now? If Yes, then a Safety Switch is your Problem. If No, then The Coil/Ignition Module/Igniter is Bad. You can View a Breakdown of the Engine at this Addy http://www.outdoordistributors.com/ and Click the B. Then Select Briggs and Stratton. Then Select Dont have Part Numbers. Then Scroll Down to the File # 23. Then Scroll Down to the Folder # 233400 and Click. This will Download a Breakdown/IPL if this Engine. Hope this Helps. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Let me know what Happens, Please. Thanks.

 Good Luck
