I read this on the TS File:

Electric and manual start: Flywheel rotates but engine does not attempt to start. .
Remove a spark plug, reconnect it and hold it against engine block. Keep it there while turning engine over.

Does it make a hot, blue spark when attempting to start?
If no, troubleshoot ignition system.

Has hot, blue spark?


So, should I use rubber handled pliers and gloves or something? Any danger here? Can I check each individual plug one a time to see if one not working?

THanks,

Just hold onto the rubber boot or wire (be sure it's not frayed or has exposed wires)

It shouldn't shock you.
