Don't know how mechanically inclined you are, but first, bypass on/off switch to see if that is your problem. Disconnect wires in and out of the switch and use multi meter to check if switch is bad. Take apart if you can and clean, re assemble, or buy a new one.
If switch is good and still no spark, pull the flywheel cover assembly with the pull start mechanism intact, if possible. If it seem to hang up so where, you will have to pull the rope coil assembly, being careful of recoil spring winding to remember tension if it slides off wrong.
Pull flywheel by loosening nut, but not removing, to be flush with shaft end. Put pressure behind flywheel with pry bar using knee on bar, and tap the end of the shaft with a hammer and hardwood block. Flywheel should pop of relatively easy from impact shock.
Once off, take 120 grit, or fine sandpaper and sand corrosion off of inside flywheel edge magnets, and the coil ends that coincide with diameter of flywheel. Re assemble and should be good to go.
Have fun!
