Some small engines have a soft key on the flywheel that's supposed to shear instead of bending or breaking expensive stuff. Might see if you've messed up the key and it has no power because it's pretty far out of time

Could be running on one cylinder. Pull one plug wire off and use a 1/4" bolt to ground it to the engine. see if it will start. If so and it sounds the same, it is broken. If it willnot start, try the other plug. If it then starts, bingo. Compression check, plug swap etc. Jim

Adjust the valves.

Thanks all. She's gotta go another year. Then the ZTR move. Pricing them. Don't know why the wife keeps looking over my shoulder
