Im trying to start my mower, did everything normally to get it started but its not starting. There is a lever by the carbarator, what is the positioning?
Re: Im trying to start my mower, did everything normally...
The lever is probably a choke..... what kind of mower is it? did you leave gas in it over the winter time, if so dump gas out.... also you could replace the spark plug.... hope this helps....

check for spark by pulling of the spark plug wire remove the spark plug and pull the engine over while holding the spark plug against the cylinder head
can you rotate the engine by hand?try and bypass wiring and jump at the starter if ok they bypassing the safety switches and bypassing each battery cable
sounds like you have a safety switch issue, i am the proud owner of 3 different Murray mowers, you have a seat switch, a blade disengage switch, and a clutch pedal switch, depending on model and year, unplug one at a time and re try, need anymore info, email me, [email protected] :) hope that helps,
After charging the mower, you must place the safety key in the mower before it will start. On models that have a bail handle, be sure to pull the bail handle back to the mower handle before engaging the start lever. If your mower still does not start, remove the safety key and ensure the bail and start lever are in the "off" position. Then firmly re-insert the safety key, pull the bail handle to the mower handle and engage the start lever.
Note - It is important that the bail and start lever are returned to the "off" position before inserting the safety key.
Give it try, if it still will not operate you may have to take it in for service.
Good luck, let me know.

Most lawnmowers manufactured over the past 15 years have a safety lever that needs to be pulled in to allow the mower to be started. This lever is normally located near the handrail and acts as a failsafe that shuts down the mower if you were to trip or release it . The intent is to protect you from injury if you let go of the handlebar. make sure you've puled in the safety lever before pulling on the cord .. otherwise, it shouldn't budge.. Hope this helps..
