Hi, first of all I would check that the cutting cylinder is correctly adjusted, i,e, just kissing the bottom blade.dont forget to re-adjust the chain. next i would remove the four engine mounting bolts and slide the engine away from the clutch drum so that you can check if the clutch shoes are binding on the spindles, if the spindles are rusty centrifugal force will throw the shoes outward to engage the drum but the springs wont be able pull the shoes back.try wd40 on the pins while trying GENTLY to revolve the shoe round the pin, hope this helps

Most likely you have flooded the cylinder with oil. You can try this and see if it helps you out.
Remove the spark plug, clean and dry it with carb cleaner, let dry, spray carb cleaner in the spark plug hole and thoroughly flush it out. Let is sit this way for about 20 minutes. Reinstall your spark plug and see if it will start up for you. If it does you are done if not go to an auto parts store and buy some starter fluid. Spray the fluid with just short burst into the air cleaner. Try to start it. Repeat and it should stay running in a couple of tries.
Personally, my view is that this
is NOT a job for the uninitiated DIY enthusiast as it will mean stripping the machine
and removing the drum from the chassis, splitting it, removing pressed in
bearings and then sourcing and re-fitting new bearings.
To
be frank, the cost of a bearing set (if they are replaceable, and most are)
will be about £20 ($30) or so. But it's a long and horrible job if you haven't
done it before. I know professionals who claim they can do a bearing change in
under an hour, I've done a quite a few and it takes me about 2 hours by the time I've
ripped the machine apart and reassembled it after the bearing swap. A local
repairer will probably attend and swap out your defective drum for a
refurbished one and then take yours away so he can refurbish it and put it back
in his stock. Sadly, this will take the price up to the point where you need to
question if the expense is worth it or do you get a new machine instead.
I'm not saying that you couldn't do it if you had the will and the practical temprement, but I would certainly approach the idea of starting the job with a degree of scepticism.
