My mower turns over but will not fire. I have spark and it seems that it is out of time. Andy suggestions?

You need spark, fuel and compression to get an engine to run. You need to make sure that you have fuel getting into the cylinder.

While it may be out of time, I would not suspect that as first line unless you have hit something prior to this problem (which may have sheared the key). Having spark is good, but you do need to check to see that fuel is being delivered. You can check the cylinders by a compression check to ensure proper compression. Hope this helps.
