Answer
Hello Ben:

Operate the Mower as Usual. When the Engine Quits, then Remove the Spark Plug and Wrap the Threaded Section of the Plug with Wire (**BE CAREFUL PLEASE HOT PARTS**), then Attach the Other End of the Wire to the Engine Block. Now Check for Plug Fire. If None, then Remove the Coil Shut Off Wire at the Shut Off Switch. Check for Fire. If No Fire, then Remove the Cut Off Wire from the Coil (removal of the blower housing required) and Check for Fire.  Turning the Engine By Hand (giving a Quick Twist with the Wrist) is Enough to Make the Coil Fire the Plug. If Still No Fire, then the Coil/Ign Module/Igniter is Bad. From your Description, it Sounds like the Coil/Ign Module/Igniter is Bad and Grounding the Fire to the Plug. You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Mower at this Site Addy, http://hayward.arinet.com/scripts/EmpartISAPI.dll?MF&app=ASP&lang=EN&TF=Mainfram... and Select the Catalog American Honda. Hope this Helps. I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Thanks.

Good Luck
