Pull out the spark plug, reconnect it to the plug wire, and hold the plug threads up against the metal engine case.

Turn on the ignition and set all the kill switches to the run position.

Set the brake and crank the starter motor like you were trying to start up the quad.

Do you see spark across the plug gap?

Be sure to keep a good connection between the spark plug threads and the engine or the spark may leap to you instead .

Not with a ten foot pole...

Where is the maximum torque spec?

Their top listed feature for this item:

"Wrench"

Second top feature listed:

"Material: Steel"

Did you read the one and only review?

Even if you plan on buying it, using it, and then returning it (which is kind of ghetto think in my opinion), you will most likely be wasting your time.
