You could disconnect the switch at the coil and take it out of the circuit.

The switch works by shorting out the coil to keep the coil from working. If you disconnect the switch wire at the coil, you eliminate any problem with the switch.

This may be silly question but did you try another spark plug?

I looked in the repair manual and it talks about if you change the plug with one with the correct gap, inspect the high voltage wires, disconnect the stop switch, and set the coil gap at .3mm and no spark - to change the coil.

TKS 066,,,, I took the plug out ,disconnected the ground wire check gap and spun the flywheel by hand and couldnt get any spark period. I tryed to get sparkgrounding with a wire run outa the sparkplug wire about a quarter inch from the block and nothing. By the way how could I  come up with a service manual or a copy of one for the 5100 ? Any info would help very much.

I was looking at the service manual for a Dolmar 6400 that I found on the Internet somewhere last year this time?

 you are not going to get spark by spinning it by hand you will have to spin it with the recoil it has to spin fast    BILL
