" Earlier this year I had the motor checked by a mechanic. He told me he was having a problem getting the motor to fire because of intermitten spark. He said he was checking different things out and it started working. I had no problem with it all season. I took it out in Nov and couldn't get it started, it cranked and cranked only popped a time or two. I pulled the plugs and found one broken. Thinking all I needed was a new one I replaced the plugs. I wanted to go on 10 Jan and couldn't get her to fire. I'm not sure if having a plug pulled but connected to the plug wire and turning over the engine to see the arc is the right way to check. I noticed a crack in what I think is the coil. Could that cause the problem or is it something else. How can I trouble shoot the problem? Appreciate any advice!! "
