Some mowers have a type of auto choke on them. Some Briggs and Stratton choke themselves when the engine speed is slow, and un-choke when the engine reaches full rpm.
If you are having problems starting your mower you should check 3 things, air, fuel and spark.
Fuel: check to make sure you are full of good quality fuel, try to start the engine several times then take out the spark plug and it should look wet. If its not wet then you aren't getting fuel into the engine.
Air: remove and clean the air filter with clean gasoline if its made of foam. If its made of paper then you should buy a new one from a local auto parts or hardware store.
Spark: disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and hold the wire close to the engine block. Try to start the engine and watch for a spark to jump between the end of the wire and the engine block. If it doesn't then either the wire is bad or the ignition coil is bad.

Hi, Check that you have the correct spark plug fitted or fit a new one as it sounds like your plug is getting hot then shorting out.
Sometimes the magnito can do this as well. but I would start with the plug.
