I think what your describing is a timing issue. Have you hit something with the blade? There is a key in the crankshaft that aligns the flywheel. If that key is sheared the ignition timing will be off. This will cause what you are describing. It is firing when the piston is in the wrong position. You will have to remove the engine cowling and the nut from the end of the crankshaft that holds the flywheel. There will be a key way in the flywheel and the crankshaft with a key in it. These two keyways must be in alignment and the key in place. If not remove the flywheel and replace the key.

I agree with a timing problem. Does it pull over easy when the sparkplug is removed ?
I have a 14HP OHV Briggs that had a 'hydraulicing' problem , wouldnt compess some fuel/oil that got in the combustion chamber and kept snapping flywheel keys , would turn over easy w/o the plug in, but wouldnt even start when trying to jump with my truck.
Check the flywheel key, and if any fluid is in the combustion chamber.

sounds like a timing issue. check that flywheel key and if it is ok i would still suspect the ignition module. they are funny things when they start to go bad some times the work sometimes they don't. I have also seen them fire at the wrong time in the stroke without a sheared key.
