New battery re-charged but still wont fire
Check for spark
If yes, it is getting FIRE, just needs AIR and FUEL
Give it a 5-second shot or two of Starting Fluid (Ether) through the Air intake (filter) and try to start
Does it kick and run really fast and then stop?
If not, pull the plug, clean and check for GAP of 2-3 matchbook covers. Retry. Does it run (or try to)?
If it does, Now we have to look at Clogged air or fuel filter or water in line(s)
Remove air filter. Try ether again. If it starts and runs, replace or clean air filter. Done!
If not... Replace AIR filter and Drain fuel into metal or Glass jug, take off fuel filter, open and drain fuel bowl. Replace fuel filter, refill tank, prime, give it a shot of ether and try again. If it runs, Done!
If it still will not stay running, but you can coax it by giving it a blast every 5-10sec, it could be linkage, stuck choke, throttle plate or jets. Give carb a good cleaning, check throttle plate (in carb throat between it and Air Cleaner) and.check Choke. Try again.
If it still will not run, take to mower mechanic.
