Default RE: got spark?

Probably a stupid question, have you changed the plug? Where in the food chain is your dmm showing juice?If the plug is fouled, you can jump up and down on the kick arm all day and nothing will happen.
I don'tknow the numbers for your gaps, but if you're gettinga meter readingand you're SURE the spark path is functional (i.e. all the parts you mentioned are OK) then the plug ought to fire. Otherwise, work your way through with the meter. Good luck!
