Turn the to the RUN position and try to hear the pump running. Be quick because it will shut off when it reaches proper pressure in the line. Can you hear the pump? If yes, check the filter first (it's the least expensive). If no, make the sure pump has power running to it then check the pump.

White smoke coming from air filter when cranking engine on riding lawn mower?
I am assuming that the mower doesn't start.... My first guess would be that you are not getting spark to ignite the gas in the engine. Check to see if you have spark at the spark plug.

Why does your engine rotate but not start?
You car's engine needs three things to run...Fuel...Oxygen...Spark. Your engine is not getting one or all of these things, and therefore will not start. Of course you may be getting your engine may be getting some fuel, a little oxygen, and weak spark, and still will not run. Have a mechanic look at your car, could be something simple as a blocked fuel filter. Don't panic, but have a reputable mechanic check things. Hope this helps.
Sunbird wont start?
if the starter is TRYING to start the engine check to see if your getting fuel. if it doesn't then check battery connections, starter, fuses. if no fuel check fuses, pump, and filter. if it is simply not firing check plugs, distributor cap and rotor, and plug wires. HOWEVER if it ISN'T turning over, but the starter is turning the motor then check the TIMING BELT.
