how can i tell if a coil is shorted out on a 16hp briggs. model 402707?

I have a freind who called me and stated that his motor has no spark if he tried with plug in wire but if he used a screw driver in wire he had spark. He tried several new plugs. ground wire from neg. post on battery to frame will spark when motor is cranked over.

Suggest a) engine is not properly grounded to frame, and b) plug gap is too wide.
