Check to see if a small bolt is missing. thats usualy all there is holding them in place. I had that problem before.

did you turn the mower upside down then the oil filled up the oil filter take off the filter then it should start it has to breath it takes mor air then fuel to make a engine run

Go to parts www.searspartdirect.com and put in the model # and it will display all the parts that are supposed to be on the mower. Whatever you are missing just order from them.
Goodluck!
