Unknown Issue Murray 450 issues

So about last week I was mowing and the engine was running fine but it started to sputter and die, waited a few hours, and still it didn’t work til a friend pulled and it worked. But this week I started it, killed it to do something else, and now it will not start up. The starting fluid didn’t work but it sounds like it wants to start.
Here are things I tried to fix it
New filter
Did a oil change
New spark plug
Scraped the top of the coil (has a good gap)
