HRX 217 Died and Fails to Restart (maybe low compression)

HRX 217 Died and Fails to Restart (maybe low compression)

Need some help diagnosing my HRX 217. Mowing my lawn the other day and it died. Not like a sputter or slowly turned off. Just suddenly stopped. I didn’t hit anything.

Trying to restart and nothing, kinda sounds different as well. I replaced the ignition kill switch thinking that may be may bad. Not seeing a spark still I replaced the ignition coil. Still no spark, best I can tell. I have a new plug coming but the current one is only about a year old and is a NGK plug.

Has gas and getting gas to the carb and cylinder.

Is it possible to have valve issues on these? I am not sure what else to look for. Putting my finger to the spark plug hole and don’t feel a lot of compression.
