Ah, we had one of those lawnmowers.Your problem is that there was a little rubber cap missing from the metal strip. You're supposed to push on that. The strip connects to the top of the spark plug, and shorts out the HT lead.
Just so you know, that was somewhere between 10,000 - 20,000 volts going up your arm. Not a lot of AMPS, fortunately, which is why you (and I, to be totally honest) are still alive today.
