Here are a few things you can check to troubleshoot a Sears lawn tractor with a Briggs 20 hp engine that has no spark:

1. Check the spark plug. Make sure the spark plug is properly gapped and that the electrodes are clean and free of debris. If the spark plug is dirty or damaged, replace it.

2. Check the spark plug wire. Make sure the spark plug wire is properly connected to the spark plug and the ignition coil. If the spark plug wire is damaged, replace it.

3. Check the ignition coil. Make sure the ignition coil is properly connected to the spark plug wire and the battery. If the ignition coil is damaged, replace it.

4. Check the safety switch. Make sure the safety switch is engaged. If the safety switch is not engaged, the engine will not start.

5. Check the battery. Make sure the battery is properly connected and that it has enough power to start the engine. If the battery is dead or damaged, replace it.

6. Check the fuel system. Make sure the fuel tank is full and that the fuel line is properly connected to the carburetor. If the fuel line is damaged, replace it.

7. Check the air filter. Make sure the air filter is clean and free of debris. If the air filter is dirty, replace it.

If you have tried all of these things and the engine still does not have spark, you may need to take the lawn tractor to a qualified repair technician.
