Might be something else? Take out the sparkplug, put it on a metal piece on the motor with the wire plugged in, pull the rope and look for a blue spark at the tip. Not all that unusual these days for the ignition to take a dump. And check for a wet looking sparkplug first off, could be flooded with too much gas. If it all looks good I usually give it a shot of starting fluid in the spark plug hole, replace plug, try to start.

A compression test should give a good idea the health of the engine.

If it's low, probably not worth fixing.

If low, you can tear it down, check cylinder for wear/damage, piston ring end gap, carbon build up, etc.
If not damaged, just worn, a piston ring may fix it for you...
