Problems with a Sears and Roebuck Model 500

[darkexphos1]

I recently received a Sears and Roebuck Model 500 (Non Briggs & Stratton) and It has a confusing problem the engine has spark when connected to any ground (I checked It with a tester) but when I connect it to the the spark plug It has no spark . Can someone help me out here. Thanks :smile:

Sears has sold thousands of pieces of equipment over the years, you are going to have to do a little better.........

The model number off of the tag will do nicely......

Model No, 500 (It's an engine)

Like I said, you might have to help us out a tad.... 500 means nothing..... Look for a model number tag on whatever the hell you are asking about, mower,
tiller, washing machine, aircraft carrier, or whatever it is. Also, finding the model numbers and serial numbers off of this engine are very much needed.

Can you at least reveal what kind of machine this is, hell with sears, you could be talking about a butter churn!!!!

Did you try a new plug?

 

[darkexphos1]

Yep and It still won't work

It is just a engine its not in anything I will get you the model numbers and stuff

Did you ground the side of the plug on the metal of the block when you did this test?

 

[Fish]

If the side of the plug isn't touching the block during the test, it will not spark.
