how to check a spark plug

[Minimax]

This morning I wanted to go bashing,

but whatever I did, i could not start the engine.

It had fuel, i could hear the compression, but never ignition.

I unscrewed the spark plug and looked ok,

the spark lead cable looks ok, but how can I check if they are firing?

Since it did not fire, there was fuel in the exhaust can.

Or does anybody have another idea what my problem could be?

== Friday afternoon, I had a great time bashing. No problems whatsoever.
Have driven 3 tanks on friday.
I did make some tumbles and that could have hit the spark plug... but than it should have stopped on friday I think...

I tried what I do with my oldtimer, and it works.

I just laid the sparkplug connected to coolingfins and pulled the starterrope.

and I saw sparks.

So that's one thing I can forget.
Now just find what's wrong...

is the engine still flooded?

Engine was indeed still flooded.

I made basic setting to engine High and Low. Still didn't work.

I closed both screws and after 2 puls, engine fired and ran for 5 secs.

than I reset basic settings and engine lives again...:yahoo:

Have gone out to check the settings. Runs ok now. Finetuning has to be done yet.

It seemed engine got too much fuel.
