I have a craftsman 200/430 cfm that does not start. I've checked fuel and plug. Could it be the coil? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

You said that you checked the plug but didn't say if your actually had spark. I would start there, Could be other things like compressions problems. If under 90 your done.

I can see spark at the plug but how bright or strong should it be? and I squirted some oil in the head. But still no start. Will check the head gasket now I guess. Thank you guys for your help
