    Old gas, bad coil, have you checked for spark and gas flow to the carb?

    If this is the first time used this Spring, and as already said earlier- is the gas fresh, whether left in mower or storage container over Winter? Air filter?
    Depending on the age of the mower, many other possibilities.
