Snapper RER Dilemma

Hi all,
Last year I got a 1980 something Snapper RER. The 30" deck that's not Hi-Vac. It has one of those old 8 hp briggs engines (#190707)on it that may be done for. It knocked off on me last weekend. Took the housing off the top and tried turning the flywheel, which did turn. Tried restarting, no dice. Getting fire from the plug wire but it never sounds like it's trying to fire up.
Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions as to what to try next?
Also - since I've haven't had any other problems with the mower, I was thinkng about trying to find a used motor not sure if that's too risky an option. I guess I'm saying how do you tell if "good" used engine is any good?
Thanks,
Ross
