Ignition coil?

Hi all, anyone any good with ignition issues? My FS460 was running okay, then stopped and now won’t start. Can’t seem to get spark? Does this mean the coil is dead? Cheers

Make sure switch is in run position, try to check conductivity of the wire with a multimeter, maybe wire has a bad contact with sparkplug boot. Check if your killswitch wires (small ones) is plugged and not touching. If you have a new sparkplug, try new one. If it's all not help, check coil gap, or order new coil.
