Take an old spark plug and cut off the electrode at the bottom. Get a
large aligator clip, the kind used on a battery charger (can be smaller)
and screw it to the heavy part of the sparkplug, the part that the wrench
goes on. Attach the plug wire and clip the plug to the engine block. When
you spin the motor the plug will spark.
