    Did you try to verify spark? My guess would be perhaps a safety interlock swicth is preventing spark? I am not familiar with the snapper, but I would guess the standard seat switch, mower engaged switch perhaps and a clucth position switch. I would either check all of these individually or verify that you do have good spark , either way.

    Good LUck,
