I have been troble shooting a gas engine and finally found out why it will not run. I checked for spark off the plug wire and it checked out fine. I looked at the sparkplug and it was wet but otherwise in excellent condition. I drained all the gas and rebuilt the carb. The machine would'nt start after all this even with starting fluid. Finally had the presence of mind to check the plug. Sure enough, the plug does not fire. I have never before seen a plug that will not fire that has no outward clues. How can a solid-state component like a sparkplug just stop working?
