Peter, Roger et al, One of the many things impressed upon me at Rotax
school was that one should never, ever attempt to try and see the spark by
grounding a plug and cranking the engine. Unless you have an extra grand
lying around for a new ignition module.
First, as Roger noted, it's almost impossible to see. Second, a $10 tool,
an Ignition Spark Tester replaces the weak spark with a bright light that
makes the test safe and easy to do.
Ignition Spark Testers are available from sources as varied as Harbor
Freight and Snap On.

I fully agree. If it is done wrong you can cause damage. I never look for spark
and have such a tool to check wire/plug continuity.
