Lawnmower is a B&S Quantum XE vertical shaft, mower was running fine and has always started on first pull (by the way it is a prime start type, carb has no fuel or air adjustments and electrical system is point less uses coil or magnetron). The other day was mowing lawn and noticed the carb bracket was cracked and vibrating bad, shut motor off removed carb, linkages, kill wire and defective bracket. Installed new bracket and installed all associated parts. Primed carb (also when carb was off cleaned it all out and checked float) set to start pulled cord no start tried over and over, checked spark at spark plug NO spark, checked kill wire GOOD, checked run cable GOOD, checked gap on coil GOOD, also checked strength of magnets GOOD...Replaced coil and plug (COIL installed This Side Out readable) used a business card for gap, hooked spark plug back up and tried again with kill wire disconnected ...still no spark...What would cause a perfectly good running motor to quit giving off spark, when the problem was with a broken bracket to begin with? Aren't the main things for spark are coil, spark plug and kill wire? Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated...."STUMPED"
