OK, so far you've stated that you have done the following:
* Verified spark by pulling plug from cylinder, grounding plug to engine, and cranking. Appears to have good spark. You also replaced the plug.
* Tested the fuel shut-off valve on the carburetor. It appears to be working.
* Verified that the float bowl is full of fuel.
* Replaced Ignition module
* check compression.
I don't know why you replaced the ignition module, you have indicated that the engine does provide a good spark on rotation of the engine. My question is, was the engine running and then suddenly stopped running on its own and won't restart now or did this problem arise after the machine sat around for a while without being run for several weeks or months?
Also, by what means did you determine if the electromagnetic fuel shut-off valve is working properly? Can you hear it mechanically clicking on and off (opening and closing) when you energize it? You may have a defective shut-off valve or a plugged main jet or both.
Have you finally put a compression gauge on it yet and if you have, with full throttle open and cranking engine over, how any pounds of compression does the gauge indicate?
