***"the carburetor is clean"***
Does that mean you have taken the carburetor apart and cleaned thoroughly or does that mean that the outside of the carb looks "clean"?
To check whether the engine wants to run but is not "getting fuel" you can dribble a spoon or two of gasoline into the throat of the carb, or give it a shot of spray carb cleaner into the carb and see it it wants to run briefly on that amount of fuel.
If it wants to run when you do that, your carb is not so clean (inside) after all.

Yes I took apart the carburetor and cleaned everything with carb cleaner I put it back on and even with starting fluid no firering yet the spark plug is wet so I know it's getting fuel

OK, now we are getting somewhere. It seems to have no spark.
What engine is on this mower? Look on the engine and find a model number and type number if Briggs.
Model and spec number if Kohler.

My mower is actually at my house upstate and I won't be there till Friday but I am getting spark and i know it is a 9 hp Briggs

Do you know whether the flywheel has ever been removed from the engine, either by you or someone else before you got it? If it has compression, and it has spark, and it is getting fuel, a sheared flywheel key may be why it does not run.
Most often a flywheel key shears after the flywheel has been removed and replaced with insufficient torque to the flywheel retention nut or bolt.

I'm not sure but I can check tomorrow

According to this website, it's a Kawasaki??
