Hello! I have a yardmax tiller with the Briggs cr950 engine. It has been ran for less than an hour. When I try to start it I get nothing. Pulled the plug and grounded it and am getting no spark. The coil has the kill switch wire. 1 of which is mounted on a clip that gets grounded to kill it when the throttle is all the way off. The other comes out the front of the engine and is basically capped off. Any time I've dealt with switch issues pulling it off the coil has bypassed it but still getting no spark. Is it possible the coil went bad that fast or is there something else I should be looking for...
Thanks!!

So, there are 2 kill wires coming off coil? Pull both off and try to start. You can pull air filter and put thumb over carb throat to kill it.
Is this machine under warranty? It's the dealer problem then.
