Hi,
I have just inherited an old Webb cylinder mower with a Briggs and
Stratton
2.0hp engine on it. I have taken the spark plug out and
cleaned it and re-gapped
it but there isn't a spark from the plug when
I try to earth it to the cylinder
head. However if I place a
screwdriver up the HT lead and turn the engine over
it gives a good
shock. The engine won't start, I've even poured a splash of fuel
into
the cylinder but no joy. Can anyone help? does it need a new plug or
something?

From your description, it sounds like you need a new plug !! They can last
for years, or they can go bad in one season.
the easy test is to install a brand new plug and go from there..
good luck
