If not electrical issue what about a vapor lock created by carb problem? Swear it was cheaper to pitch. Since it had a non-adjustable carb at possibly $40.00 bucks to experiment. Theory applied though. When cooled down with water it would start but not run long. Even replaced coil and then stupidly never properly tested electric. Grab that coil wire and spin it. Can you dance without a partner? Got another engine from a similar model that the deck was messed up on. Swapped it out. Robbed old engine of new parts and other usable items and recycled the steel. Taa Dah?????? Maybe for you too??????

Why wont your Briggs and stratton mower get spark to the spark plug?
Without knowing what engine or what kind of mower it is this is just a guess. But, it is possible that your flywheel and/or coil have gotten rusty and are not getting the conact that they need to make the spark. Try removing the cover and sanding the flywheel and coil. If it is a riding mower with a key switch there are many possibilities including anything from a bad switch to one of the safety switches.
Why wont your Briggs and Stratton 4 point 5 hp mower engine not start after removing and reinstalling flywheel cover?
check to see if it is getting spark . you probably have the "kill mechanism " installed wrong . It's probably grounding out the ignition system. The "kill mechanism" is the cable operated mechanism that goes from the handle with a cable to the pull start housing . Its either improperly installed or out of adjustment.
