    How to ground Tecumseh Engine for Snowblowers
    I have recently changed my contact point and condenser to my snowblower with Tecumseh Engine. After putting it back, no sparks. I changed also the spark plug and tried the other also, but still no spark. Not sure why no spark and if there is anything to ground. Someone says grounding and I don't know how or maybe some other issues? Please help. Thanks

    Did you put the crankshaft high side against the points before you set the gap ?
    If so could be coil / amuture.

    Do you think I have to change the ignition coil?

    If you have the gap set right at the points and you have no fire , then yes . But verify no fire ,
    Spray a little carb cleaner in the carb throat , if it tries to start then clean carb,
