Thanks Mike. No primer, unfortunately. I've got a spark-checking device and a new spark plug coming in the post.

I'm hoping it's not the coil, because a replacement coil is very pricey. However, I imagine it's very unlikely to be suffering from a dead coil, because a coil has no moving parts. Would you agree?

If your brave hold a finger on the plug electrode with it connected to
the lead and pull the starter. You will soon know if it giving current
to spark.
