Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): lawn mower wont start, engine model type, crank shaft


Question
Troubleshooting lawn mower:
Question
Hi
I have a lawn mower.  About 1 month ago, after I moved, the lawn mower won't start. Interstate Lines were our movers and they messed up lots of items from the household. Like bicycles tires were bent when they placed lots of weight on top of them. Do you think that the problem with lawn mower that doesn't start - is that they bent the crank shaft? I tried loosening the blade slightly but no luck.  Any suggestions, would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Valeria

Answer
I doubt they bent the crankshaft but they may have damaged the shut-off handle cable or the shut-off swithch.

What brand of mower do you have?   What is the mower model number?  What engine is on the mower?  What is the engine model, type and code/serial number?

Have you checked the igntion system to see if you have spark?
