OK assuming that you had the metal portion of the spark plug in contact with the metal of the engine as you cranked it and you got no spark then as I said bad plug or bad mag. Since a spark plug is a couple dollars and the Mag is more like $40 (just a guess) I'd go and pick up a plug and try it. any auto parts store should be able to hook you up. If that doesn't work then it's time for a new mag. Not a big deal to replace, 2 screws and just set the gap properly.
