Have esears snowblower that is not getting any spark. Points are good and I think the plug wire is good and the plug is new. Any ideas

Hi,
Does it have one of those safety switches that take a plastic key; or an oil level switch in the block that kills the fire if the oil is low?
Peace,
Clarke

Hi,
Some additional info would be nice, like engine make, model number, etc.
Next place would check is the ignition ground, the system that would normally cut it off. If is always cut off, that would be a problem.
Peace,

Can not see any problem with the kill lever or the ground wire. It is a sears craftsman 4 hp tecumseh motor not sure what the model number is.

Hi,
If it is electric start, the push button switch for that is probably obscuring the numbers. If so. Unbolt it.
