Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): lawn mower wont start, oil level, lawn mower


Question
I have recently bought a lawn mower with a tecumseh 4 cycle 156 cc pull start engine. While mowing the grass it stopped and now won't turn over when I pull the cord. I have a spark, there is lots of gas and the oil level is fine. Flywheel?? Thank you for any suggestions on what to do.

Answer
I would start by replacing the spark plug.  If that does not solve the problem then more trouble shooting will be required.  Check out this site:

Let me know if replacing the spark plug solves the problem.
