Either a bad kill switch or coil.

Did you change the plug? You may have energy for spark but the plugs no good. Remove the plug and hold the wire within a 1/8 inch of the engine. Hold the wire with rubber handle plyer then have someone pull the start cord. If a spark shows between the wire and engine your plug is bad. .If thats not it remove the engine covers and sand the rust off the sides of the fly wheel. Thats where the magnets in the flywheel pass by the magnito to generate spark. Simple fix ...... Bud
