I'm going to pull the head and check to make sure the valves are working correctly. it has been suggested that the exhaust valve is stuck open.

It has a blue spark. Drained gas, replaced with gas bought the day before. Still no change. Checked fuel flow downstream of fuel filter and it was good. Checked fuel flow out of fuel pump and it was good. Replaced starter with the starter from the 14 hp Kohler, no change. Took part and cleaned out carburetor, no change. Changed plug, wire, coil, and condenser from the 14 hp to the 16hp and saw no change in spark.

Replaced the exhaust valve and head gasket and all is well now.

@xxtruckin93xx I think it didn't have enough compression to start, the head gasket also had 1 spot that was suspect and possibly leaking some, but the valve had a lot of carbon on it. I replaced the valve, set the valve clearances and lapped the new valve in.
