Without fuel it won't run no matter how much spark you have. Time to pull the carb apart and clean it.

You said you swapped the timing 180 and still nothing. can you turn the engine by hand with the sparkplug out, if so put your finger over the plug hole and when the engine comes up on compression you should feel pressure, bring the piston to top dead center.set your timing.pour a little fuel down the plug hole,put the plug in , hook it up and try it. hopefully she'll at least pop.most carbs have idle circuits that are .015 of an inch, doesnt take much crud to clog them up

Maybe between $200 and $400 depending on condition. Some more pictures would be a big help, side profiles as well as under the hood and of the mower. If you decided to sell, send me a PM, I'm just one county over.
