So we don't know if it has breaker points or not. Going on the assumption it indeed has points, replace them. If it is breakerless The coil (module) must be replaced. I suggest you go to this site and enter your engine model & spec #. This should tell you if your engine has points or not. You didn’t say how old your machine is,or what brand engine it has.

Had that happen one time.. Used steel wool and got the rust off and it started right up. the magneto magnet in the flywheel may have rust on it, and not allowing any spark. Had that happen one time..

Hot weather offers more resistance than cold. Look for oxidized points(oxidation is like rust but not example pennies oxidize and go from shiny metallic copper to dull not so mettallic finish. Points get spark arcing accross them and will lose their shine quickly and also lose the conductivity needed to carry the current for the spark plug. That or the ground has been lost which is neede to complete the circuit. normally the other way around. Hot weather offers more resistance than cold.
