Mowers don't typically take batteries. Possibly riding mowers might, but not push/self propelled mowers. They run off a spark plug and gas and that's it.

Does it have spark? Does the engine get fuel? If you spray starting fluid into the air filter will it start up?

It may not have one. Some mowers auto choke using spring tension on the choke plate in the carb. They open the choke when the engine speeds up after starting. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_29ad5d1dd86564b0

Although I'm not familiar with this model, on some, you remove the center hub cap, and remove the bolt underneath. The wheel should slide right off. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_29ad5d1dd86564b0

Usually this is a sign of oil being in the ignition chamber. Check the oil level, if too high drain and refill to proper level. Also if you have hills or slopes in your yard make sure that you are mowing up and down not across. If you must mow across the slope make sure to do it with the oil to the downward side. Caution if you do this too often the engine will be deprived of oil all together and seize up.

Could be a few things but I would start by taking the spark plug out to reduce the compression. This will make it easier for the engine to turn just to make sure the piston is moving. If it is an older machine you may have rust build up all the way to a seized engine depending on maintance preformed on the mower.

I have to change the drive cable I have the end on the handle but cant figure out how to do it on the mower head

Not uncommon for the drive to turn in only one direction.

I'd just take it to a small engine guy and pay the $. They know all the tricks and it will save you a lot of grief.

No..you didn't really ask that question did you?

Yes, you can but the speed should be set with a tachometer. Your local dealer can make this adjustment for you.

Sounds like you may have hit a rock or log which shears the pin on the crankshaft to save the engine. It's a simple job to check the crank shear pin and see if it sheared and its a simple job to replace it. Youtube videos should show the process.

The drain plug on a Briggs and Stratton engine is underneath the deck. Most likely it is concealed by cover for the self propel belt and possibly the blade as well.
The suggested method for draining the oil is to warm up the engine by running the unit for 10 minutes or more, though this should be sufficient time for the engine to have warmed up. Then drain the oil.
An alternate method is to drain the oil out of the oil filler tube. To do this, after the engine is warmed up, tilt the mower onto the side that has the oil filler tube. Put the drain pan under the filler tube, then remove the filler cap. The oil will drain out into the oil drain pan.
CAUTION: The oil that will come out of the engine will be HOT! So be careful when removing the oil filler cap.
I hope this will answer your question. Best of luck in this mowing season.

Sounds like a clutch issue

Hi there. Firstly if it's firing but dying it could mean that the air filter is blocked with debris. Try and run it without. If it still dont run make sure the air holes in the fuel cap aren't blocked. If it still wont run then it may be the gaskets on the carb. This is a proffesional job and will need to be done by a service engineer.

Remove air filter and spray it into throttle

Remove the air cleaner cover and the air filter then spray into the filter box.
