Well, was mowing one day and the thing sputterd and died, Tried restarting and it just cranked. At first i figured it was bad gas, so i drained and put in new gas, still no start, Pulled out the spark plug and i am getting no spark, Tried a new spark plug, Cleaning and resetting the points to .020, Still nothing. So i replaced the condensor, and still nothing. Any ideas? I am out of them other than buying a new coil, and I dont think its that eather. Any help would be great, i dont know what else to do.

Edit, The Engine Is a Kohler K321AQS.
 
Check that you're getting 12v to coil + term,if you are,remove plug,disconnect wire on coil to points,rotate eng by hand till points close,connect an ohmmeter to wire from points & eng block,should read 0 ohms,if it doesen't either wire bad or contacts on points dirty/bad/misadjusted,if you do read 0 ohms,coil bad.
 
Now how do i check if im getting 12 Volts to the coil, i havent figured that out, There is a wire that goes into a connector that is probably a 10 gauge that is reading 12. but afterwards i am stumped on checking.
 
Put lead of voltmeter to + term on coil,other lead to battery - term,turn ign sw to on/run position,should read 12v,if not you have a blown fuse or ign sw/safety sw problem on tractor.If no voltage,take a jumper wire from battery pos(+) to + term on coil,crank eng & see if it starts,if it does this confirms problem in tractor wiring,if still no spark/start & points good,coil bad.
