The backstory...found a crankcase oil leak, decided to keep a check on it and finish the small amount had left to cut. Since it would only take less than 10 minutes. I shut the mower and motor off to move some things and when I returned the ignition didn't work, turn the key, nothing. Jumped starter to battery it started right up so I put it away. I changed the crankcase gasket and other seals, re-assembled all and it won't start. No response at all turning the key, turns over like crazy when I jump it but will not fire. I also replaced one head gasket since I took it apart looking for the leak. To answer any "did you" questions before hand....
Crank/cam timing marks were right when reassembled
Double checked all carb linkages correct
adjusted governor
it has spark
checked and replaced ingnition coil/solenoid
it's getting fuel
Checked (multimeter)/cleaned ingnition switch
checked seat safety switch
checked power to carb solenoid
checked action of carb solenoid
cleaned flywheel contacts and gapped contacts
I think that's everything...I am out of ideas.
Again...turn the key, nothing (hour meter readout doesn't even show), jump it, it turns over find, does not fire, one or two backfires, even using starter fluid, no luck.
