well the mower is in my shop...relevance part.

6.5 hp B&S intertec horizontal shaft engine.. three or so years old.  Always 
has cranked on 2nd or 3rd pull after winter storage.  At end of season I run 
all the gas out of it and store it with dry carb.

Tried it this year... no start... even with ether.  Changed the plug... 
still no start.  It has a solid state module bolted to the sheet metal that 
doesn't look damaged (it's pretty well protected.)  Before I start tearing 
this thing apart do we have any B&S experts that can give me some 
suggestions/common problems/remedies ??  Can you check the module ??  There 
is a plastic on/off switch built into the engine sheet metal and I haven't 
started tearing it down yet so I haven't checked that...

help ???

All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy.
