Kohler Courage 21 (SV610?) isn't recharging- runs for about 300 yards then quits

So it all comes down to three things: air, gas, and spark, right?
Air and fuel filters are clean. The choke works fine. The mower will start and run well, but it won't run for long.

For some time now. The mower (2011 Husq YTH21K46) has intermittently decided not to start without a charge. I replaced the battery for the new season and found it did little to resolve the problem. I've replaced the spark plug- same result. I've checked wiring connections, and found that they're all good except two things. The headlight wiring connection has melted at the clip (but still works) and there seems to be a loose connection that has no mate (maybe for an option my mower doesn't have?). The photo of that loose connection is attached... I hope.

I now suspect the charging mechanism and spark plug wire. The wire was badly crimped by the engine cowl and the magnets are super rusty. I know I can clean the magnets but the wire seems to be firmly affixed to the device. I'm going to a dealer in hopes of scoring a replacement.

My question is this. What if I'm wrong. What if this isn't the culprit. What next? I possess an analogue volt meter but have no idea what I'm doing with it. Can somebody please walk me through the dumb thing so I don't have to figure out how to get my dead mower to the shop?
