If it is a Briggs and Stratton engine, it sounds like you might have to adjust the valves. There is a built in compression release that lets it crank over easier. If the valves are too loose it will not release the pressure.

How do you check your compression on your engine?

You can go to auto zone and borrow one of their compression tools, it screws into where the spark plug goes and reads compression as the motor turns over. You will need the specs for that particular motor which i am sure they can provide for you.

My Montgomery ward riding lawn mower engine turns over but won't start?

Try starting the engine, pull the spark plug out and see if it is wet with gas, if it is you might not have any spark(possible from a fouled spark plug) or it might have low compression, put the plug into the spark plug boot and set the tip of the plug onto something that is metal on the engine and turn the engine over. you should see spark, no spark=ignition problem. If the plug is not wet the engine isn't getting any gas and you have a carburetor problem.

How does a motor function?

a motor is powered by electricity in the motor you have winds of wire that take an electric charge,this is dischached thru a magnet. this in turn creates a feild which drives the stater and makes the motor spin that is how a motor works an engine however works on pistons compressing a liquid enuff to turn it into gas which is then ignited by a spark plug in a gasoline engine, or purely by compression in a diesel engine the burning of the fuel creates pressure which in turn forces the piston down ,which turns the crankshaft,which turns the drive train
