Hi, Have a 2008 Murray that hasn't been started in about a month. Now no spark at all. Put in new plugs with no luck. Mower ran fine when I put it away last. Briggs and Stratton 18.5 Mod.# 42a707. Any ideas? All help greatly appreciated. Turns over no problem. Plenty of gas to plugs.
Thanks.

Hi,
Does not sound as if it is the engine. I would first try the ignition ground just beneath and to the side of the air cleaner. Probably white or yellow wire and hooks to a spade connector. Unplug it ans see if the engine cranks. If it does it is somewhere else.
Peace,
