I have a Snapper 21356B push lawn mower and the engine won't start. It's a Briggs and Stratton 121700 (3.5 HP). I determined there is no spark so I tried a new plug - nothing. I don't know a whole lot but did some research, and decided to try and clean the points. I took the flywheel off but can't figure out where they are located, and can't see anything that resembles a condenser.

Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way. Is there a way to check the ignition coil and see if it can make a spark? I don't know which order to check things in, and at this point I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated.
