Sounds like seat safety switch.To check switch use a piece of wire unplug seat switch under seat. stick wire in both sides of plug to complete circuit and try to use mower. If works replace switch.
If you will take that information to your local lawn mower dealer they can order the part. You can also order it online, just do an internet search for
The float and needle seat need to be changed or cleaned. I usually replace them, it's cheaper to replace than to fool with cleaning it. The fuel bowl should be cleaned as well.
Depends on what engine. IF it is Briggs and Stratton you remove the aircleaner cover and air cleaner element. Behind that are three little 5/16 bolts,remove those and the aircleaner mount comes off.Behind that are 2 3/8 bolts that bolt to carb to a brackett that holds it to the engine. Remove the fuel line by removing the clamps. Becareful with the throttle linkage. Some models of Briggs had a plastic throttle and it breaks easy,The wire linkage has a Z bend ,so hold the wire while moving the carb off the Z. Why would you replace the carb. Its simple to rebuilt. You local Yard Equipment dealer would probabley do it for $20 bucks instead of paying 60 or more for a new one. Its probably only full of dirt or water and the needle and seat need changed. Hope this helps.
my rope broke to lol. i have bought new roape and have reinstalled it. u have to take top of the mower apart. the plastic cover take it off all the way a few bolts u can see un do them. pull off the plastic cover and take gas cap off so it will come off. next u will see 2 bolts on the fron of the mower on the rope houseing. un do them. next behind the mower 2 more bolts. u will see them it holds the rope houseing unit in place. after u unbolt both it will come of easy. next ull see when u tip it upside down a bolt with flat head bolt. use a socket or falt head undo that. next pull out the pully that the rope gose around. install new rope threw hole in rope houseing and threw the rope pully. ull see a srping on the rope pully. its hard for me to get it to wind all the way back up so all i did was roll up the rope best i could and reinstall the pully. titen flat head bolt back in place and reinstall all bolts and plastic cover. it should work now.
