Check the crankshaft position sensor, sorry I am a car guy and don't know what else to call it. Mine failed and the symptoms were exactly like yours.

Forgot to mention, the wire can be disconnected in the circuit board box, if I remember correctly.
I bought the sensor online for about 30 bucks, but most mower shops have them.
