No Spark. Have replaced plug and ignition coil. No luck so far. All external linkages free. Have tried isolating ignition kill switch. Do I need to remove engine flywheel to examine brake kill switch connection ?
Baffled. Dunlop65.

have you just unhooked the kill wire from the coil and try it? Also, try a different new or known good used plug. Rare, but possible to get a new bad plug.

Thanks for your prompt response, mower started up fine after I properly isolated kill switch (had to stop the engine by disconnecting the plug lead by hand!). Repaired a loose connection on the kill switch cable feed which seemed to be causing the problem. Cheers Dunlop65.

That can be a good character building experience if you go about it the wrong way.

(Been there, done that. )

Yep, you might even say something your mother wouldn't approve of.
