Experienced gardeners share their insights in answering this question :
Sounds like you are flooding it. here try this. go to your mower, prime it by pushing the bulb 3 to 5 times, set the choke, pull it once, maybe twice. If it don’t start leave it alone 15 minutes (ON THE CLOCK) then come back take the choke of (set it to “run”) and try pulling one more time. See if it starts when you pour gas in, its working, OHHHH Hooo! It just hit me! Is the gas in the tank 100% fresh? I don’t mean mixed with a little old gas and hope. MUST BE 100% Fresh. See the contradiction here is wet plug no start, (You are obviously getting the gas) But you pour in the gas and it starts? I bet if you poured in the gas its more than 1 pull would give it from the tank! You see what I’m getting at? That tells me you may have bad gas vs. fresh gas!

A dirty carburetor is one of the most common causes for a lawn mower not being able to start after sitting unused for months or years at a time.
Use Carburetor Cleaner
Fortunately, you can generally do this without even taking the carburetor out of the engine. Start by purchasing some commercial lawnmower carburetor cleanerOpens a new window, which comes in a simple spray can and will make it easy to clean the inside and outside of the carb.
This can happen when the mower has been left outside during heavy rains. Moisture can prevent the spark from going off, so you may need to check the spark plug and clean it from any moisture or condensation. Clean and dry the spark plug thoroughly and use a little sandpaper to get rid of any residue if necessary.
The clicking noise comes from a part called the starter solenoid. The solenoid connects the battery to the starter motor when the solenoid is energized. The key switch and the safety switches in the starter circuit combine to energize the solenoid. If the solenoid is clicking, the circuit that triggers it is working.
If your lawnmower is starting and then stalling, the most likely issue is the carburetor. The most common issue is that the carburetor is dirty. Here`s what you need to know about how a dirty carburetor can cause a lawnmower to start, then stall out and die.
Riding Mower Clicks but Doesn`t Crank
When you hear a click as you turn the key, a weak battery, bad starter solenoid, faulty wiring, failed starter motor or a seized engine could be the cause. This DIY troubleshooting will help you figure out what to fix.

I have trouble starting a toro walk behind mower
ANSWER : All, I thought my carb was shot, so I replaced it. Still, start but no run (and had to use starting fluid). THEN!!! I noticed the spring to the “rev limiter” (just below and towards rear of carb) was not “tight”. The stupid bracket that holds the end of that spring had been bent down ~1/16″ and that caused all this heartache. CHECK YOUR REV LIMITER!!!

Lawn mower cranck but wont start…
ANSWER : Since you already checked for spark and air I would drain all the fuel out of it and check that fuel for water. Over time some lawn mowers end up with contaminated fuel. You can see the water sitting on the bottom of the fuel if you let it stand for a bit in a small plastic bowl.
Be sure to empty and dry out you fuel can as well. Especially if the mower stopped running right after a refuel. Which is a good sign your gas can is contaminated too.

I then primed the mower it started then quit and now it will not start at all. Does anyone have any suggestions of what to do. Thanks
