Check your kill switch first. Do you get Neutral light/ oil temp light when you turn the key on?

Take the plug out and ground it to the head, see if you have spark.

My old rear engine JD mower (Kawasaki engine) did what you describe a few weeks ago. I went over it and over it and finally tried a different spark plug and it fired right up. Old plug looked ok but woudn't spark very well at all when I pulled it and grounded it to the block.

Nothing better than a cheap, easy fix.

I'm sure you can figure out why I told you to check that.

You feel a little silly the first time. You feel downright stupid the 4th or 5th time you do it, especially if you don't stop to use your head and start taking stuff apart. LOL
