Normally, you engage the tines by squeezing the lever on the handles. Like an old bike brake. If that doesn't work, it may need a new drive belt.

check fuel filter . check oil level. check oil level sensor circuit for broken /loose wire. check for vent blockage in filler cap. clean air filter and make sure that the choke lever is tight enough to stay off then warm

Have you cleaned fuel line and tank to make sure no restrictions to carburetor?

have to use choke means fuel problem. Check your fuel cap vent, fuel filter. Fuel solenoid opening with key turn on. Remove hose from carb.and see fuel runs out.

It is a Briggs and stratton engine.

Your carb needs cleaned out. Tke it off and clean it out well with a good carb cleaner and you should be fine

this is not hard to do here is what you need , 1 can of carb cleaner anykind will do , a 10 mm rench to remove the bowl 7/16 socket . now remove the carb take a good look where the spring is before you take the carb off it muct go back in the same hole , now that you have it off take the bowl off remove the float place to the side here is the fun part look in the carb you will see some small hole spray them this will clean all of the old gas out if you can let it set for about 10 min then do it again blow out with air if you have one nothing else to do but reinstall this works most of the time ...Good Luck..

COULD BE A CARBARATOR PROBLEM
YOUR PROBLEM IS CALLED ENGINE RUN ON OR DIESELING THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE KEY AND FUEL IS STILL BEING PUMPED INTO THE CARB. COULD BE DIRT UNDER THE NEEDLE VALVE FOR THE FLOAT

It sounds like your flooding out. Do yo live at high altitude? It will need to be jetted for altitude, (less gas)
