So who's good with small engines?

If it hits on starter fluid, there's something definitely stopping enough fuel from getting to the plugs to fire, or the plugs aren't firing hot enough to ignite the liquid fuel.

Sounds reasonable. New plug in it. Spark did look a bit light but I was looking in full sun.

Luckily more rain and a soaked yard--no mowing for a couple of weeks

Remove the float and float valve, may need to pull the carb off. What kind of seat does it have? Older models had a brass seat and newer ones have a Neoprene seat. A new Neoprene seat will have a hole about 1/8", a red/burgundy color and hard. The one I pulled yesterday had a pin hole, pink like a pencil eraser and soft.

Best thing to do when a engine does that is fill the gas tank with black powder add a fuse light it and run.
