    Hi,
    Isolate the engine from the frame by disconnecting the ignition ground and using the spark plug against the frame to check for the existenc of ignition. Take care not to do this before checking for the presence of fuel that would be ejected from the spark plug hole and ignite by the plug if ignition is present.

    Clarke
