Empty any old gasoline from the tank for starters and fill it with fresh gas. Old gas is a killer on lawnmowers. Also check your spark plug to see if it is clean. Be sure to check the oil in the machine also. If it worked last fall when you put it away, it should work for you now in the spring.

ballengerb1 agrees: yep, start with fresh gas.

twinkiedooter is correct, clean the entire fuel system including the carb and try again.

ballengerb1 agrees: yep, might want to add a bit of Sea Foam carb cleaner to the first tank.
