If you pull one of the wires out of the back of the carby that will disable the kill switch to rule that out.

Did you try a new plug?

Otherwise I would be pointing my finger at a bad ignition module or a ignition module with a bad earth. Or the ignition coil itself.

Yes i think it must have been the module, coz I just put the coil off the dead motor onto another engine & slipped it back on the mower base & its running like a treat..

replaced top Oring & primer plate oring, a new head gasket & plug while I was at it, shouldnt need touching again for a while - 1st pull now !.
