Question
this mower has a 6/34 hp tecumseh engine,i replaced sheered flywheel key,but still get no spark. next i pulled kill switch wire from the coil, still no spark.what else can i do?

Answer
Don't know how old this engine is but if it has points and condensor ignition, replace the points and condensor and have the coil tested at a shop.  If it's electronic ignition, make sure the ignition module to flywheel gap is at 0.010" and if still no spark, replace the ignition module.  Hope this helps.
