Experienced gardeners share their insights in answering this question :
Check your armeratur air gap. Where your flywheel is, it is a magnet on the fly wheel that when it goes around the armeratur it sends a spark, the depth needs to be business card size gap from the flywheel. If you remove the pull start housing you will see the spark plug wire running to the armeratur by adjusting that closer or farther away you get more volts which means more sparks. If that doesnt work replace the part and you will get spark.

If no spark appears, check for broken wires, shorts, grounds or a defective stop switch. Once you have confirmed that the stop switch is working, reconnect the spark plug lead.
Loose, Dirty or Disconnected Spark Plug in Your Lawn Mower: Check it out, clean off debris, re-connect and tighten. Dirty Air Filter: Clean or replace. Fuel Not Reaching the Engine: Tap the side of the carburetor to help the flow of gas. If this doesn`t work, you might need a new fuel filter.
If the ignition coil does not have spark, it`s time to check its wires. Use a test light to check the continuity on the signal wire and power wire on the ignition coil. If both wires are functional but the coil fails to produce spark, the ignition coil or the ignition control module is bad.
Disconnected, dirty or fouled spark plugs are common causes for engines that won`t start. For small engines, spark plugs typically need to be replaced every season or after 25 hours of use. You should also check to make sure the spark plug gap is set correctly.
The circuit breaker may have tripped.

Then check around the blade and clear any debris that may be blocking it. Reattach the spark plug boot and reinsert key. Wait 30 seconds so the breaker can self-reset, then try restarting.

Two thousand hours is generally the number you`ll hit without any major repairs.
Many factors can cause a spark plug to fail; from incorrect heat ranges to improper gapping, to chemical contamination. Yet 90% of spark plug damage claims are due to improper torque. Many factors can cause a spark plug to fail; from incorrect heat ranges to improper gapping, to chemical contamination.
Spark plugs may become less effective at doing their job due to time, wear, or other electrical/ignition system issues. They may become “fouled” over time due to combustion, contamination, or overheating, losing their ability to spark the air-fuel mixture and dissipate heat away from the combustion chamber.
Repeated overheating of the spark plug tip can cause the plug to prematurely fail. Overheating can be caused by many things like pre-ignition and a malfunctioning cooling system. Pre-ignition can lead to heat building up in the combustion chamber causing the spark plugs to fail.
