Does not crank the engine? Cycle starter safety interlocks...
Try to start.
Engine cranks but wont fire?
If still won't start, comment here so I may assist further if need be.
I failed to mention that the engine never even turned over. It didn't even click. I changed the solenoid but had the same result. I'm thinking it's the key switch? The battery was at 12 volts when I tried to start it but now it's at 10....so I need to charge it.

Your most likely talking new starter,never jump start a lawnmower with car,to much amps.fries your starter resulting in like low battery condition,If interested can give you a place you can get a resonable price ,Most places will shock you over 120 dollers.

Sounds like your carburetor needs to be cleaned out. The surging is usually a sign of running to lean (not getting enough gas) because of possible water, rust, gum, varnish or trash in your carb. Hope that helps.....

If you have already changed your fuel filter and spark plug, look at your fuel tank cap. The breathing holes may be clogged with dirt or debris preventing good fuel flow. I happened to spend $150 bucks for this $5 fix. Hope this helps.
SOURCE: The starter won't completely turn over even though
Sometimes on the Briggs and Kohler engines, the compression release fails to operate at the proper time or is malfunctioning. A remedy for this is to remove the valve cover(s) and adjust the OH valves per the manufacturers specifications. This enables much easier starting, produces less wear and tear on the starter and may allow your new battery to completely turn that engine over. Out of adjustment valves mimic a weak or failing battery quite well and the engine hangs up on the compression stroke because the compression release system is not working properly. Adjust those darn valves.
