Try to disconnect the kill switch wire from the coil, it may be grounding out someware on the handle.. or if the switch is mounted on the unit it could be pinched under the housing grounding it out.. do a google search for the part number of your coil. see if you can find the ohms limits for the coil's primary and secondary windings.. The coil may be shorted or opened internally causing no spark, coils rarely go flat out dead, if they are going bad-they may stop woring when hot as a symptom. The tiller may have sheared the flywheel key, this will not keep spark form happening, but can cause the timing to be off so much that the engine will not fire.. try taking off the plug boot, The wire on the end of the bood may be corroded where it connects to the plug tip, look for green powder. check your spark plug boot, they can dry out and carbonize when hot and conduct / short your spark... Good luck, Friiy
