All of the oil has leaked out of my ridding mower, it has sat up all winter and after pulling it out this spring I noticed the oil on the floor, and I need to find out why before adding more oil or attempting to start.
Briggs and Stratton engines have a quite common problem with the bolts coming loose over time where the two halves of the engine meet. Most times tightening the bolts will solve the problem, sometimes the motor has to be disassembled and a new gasket installed. This *may* be where your oil went? It would either be that or the bottom seal around the crankshaft. I would add some oil and see if you could see where its leaking at, but if I had to guess, it would be one of those two places.

Bad news , Mower has sit up too long and the piston / crankshaft has become rusty and froze in place. (fix) buy some liquid wrench it comes in a can at your local hardware store...Tilt the mower onto its front wheels and remove the spark plug. Fill the Cylindar with the oil and leave it for a couple days. after a few days lean the mower back and attempt to pour out the left over oil. Then (Check Your Oil level) preferable replace old oil and pull choke..and start mower...if the engine is still frozen (Buy a New mower) 125bucks Sears.

If its a Murray lawn mower like mine, it may be using a Briggs and Stratton engine. it sounds like the spring is broken or out of its track You can find the right part which is called a "pulley/spring assembly" by locating the model number of the engine. There are instructions on how to find this at: http://www.briggsandstratton.com/maint_repair/repair_parts/

SOURCE: Problem: How to start the mower (Ariens A173K22).
For initial start up, I suggest removing the air filter off of the intake to the carburetor. Then get an aerosol spray can of carburetor/choke cleaner at auto parts store or Walmart. Your next step is to open the choke and the throttle of the mower and spray a couple shots into the carburetor throat. Then, choke the carburetor and immediately pull the starter cord.If it fails to attempt to run, repeat the process. I would get your manual, but I need the serial number off of the mower. You provided the model number, try to find the serial number and input that info here to download a manual. I think you can order a printed one from here as well.
