Wont start, just turns over, replaced solenoid, and motor will turn over, replaced amature magneto, turns over but wont start. ran great when I parked it last fall, could it be bad gas ?
Yes it could well be a stale fuel issue.

A few more things to check.
1. The oil level. If the oil level is low the oil level sensor will ground the ignition.
2. Check the wiring from the seat safety switch to make sure it is connected.
3. Follow the black wires from the ignition control module to make sure none of them are chaffing and do not have a chassis ground.
If you still have problems disconnect ONE lead from the oil level sensor and see if you have spark. Most of the time these oil level sensors are the common failure.

Check the voltage on the battery to see if it is 12 volts or higher. If not, charge battery.
Then check all starting-related electrical connections-- sounds like there is a dirty connection somewhere if the battery is charged.

Try pulling out the choke a little, if it stops backfiring the mixture is too lean, check the intake
pipes at the cyl head and also the plastic runners to the carb for leaks.

First thing to do is pull your dipstick and check for broken or missing O-ring also as you pull it, look to make certain that it was seated properly and all the way locked. If either condition exists, you will be leaking into the crankcase which will cause your symptoms
