Pull that wire off of the bottom of the coil in pic one, and try again, and pour a bunch of fuel down the carb, see what happens.

What is this on, from the one pic, it looks like it has electric start, put up all of the engine's and the mower's model numbers..

After cleaning up all the rust and still no spark. You should have two wires to the coil, large spark plug wire called secondary wire and a small wire called primary wire. disconnect the small or primary wire and then see if you get spark. If yes you have chassis wiring or switch problems and if no get the coil tested because you may have a bad coil. Once you get spark and if it still doesn't run then work on the fuel. Do only one thing at a time so you don't get over your head.

Wow!! Try to get it to start then!!!! You may have to yank the plug wire to shut it off, but you will have narrowed your problem
down to fixing it!!!!
