Good result!

 

I'm guessing the mower has spent some time outside? 

Yes definitely.

I don't mind the look as long as it's functional.

Got it to run!!!

Thanks everyone for your feedback and very useful tips.

After much playing around and testing I finally got spark.

One of the main issues was the magnet on the flywheel had a thin layer of rust, once it was cleaned and the points adjusted it made spark.

With any luck I can get it to bust off.

Thanks all.

Hello Mattblack,

Yes I got it as a non runner.

In the second pic I have the positive test lead on the spark plug wire and the neg on the base of the coil.

I thought the same thing about the sleeved wire, but that's how it was when I removed the flywheel.

I actually thought it's supposed to be the kill wire.

Hello everyone.

I really need some help with my Qualcast engine.

I'm not getting spark, I have cleaned the points and replaced the condenser but still nothing.

As you can see from the second image I am getting resistance from the sparkplug wire to the base of the coil, but I'm also getting the same resistance from the open points.

Do I have a bad coil?
