My mate has a problem with his hillside cutting pedestrian hay mower. I can't remember the name but it's Austrian and starts with a K :-).
The engine is a MAG 1029 srlx 296cc and after being in store for several years there's no spark. The HT lead to earth has a high resistance but there is continuity in the 5 kOhm region. Points are clean, what else can I tell him to check, he's 40km south of me.
