It depends on if you bought a pull start mower or a power mower. The pull start mower will have a handle you have to pull hard to start it. The power mower should have a button that simply turns it on. Make sure there is gas in the pull start mower.

Chances are the coil spring has a broken "locking tang" on the end. They are notorius for breaking when you pull the cord to start the mower. You can go to Sears and purchase the OEM replacememt fairly inexpensivly. The new spring is stronger and contains the instructions on how to install it.
Unscrew the adjusting pin. Then pull the screw straight out through the front of the cover. You have to pull hard through the thin, frictiond lock washer. -Scott www.chainsawr.com
First off, you need to take any tension out of the parking brake cable. If it is still siezed up you need to work the parking brake actuator back and forth at the wheel until it frees up. If it is still siezed up hit the brake drum with a large hammer as you pull on on the drum. If it is still seized up take cut the drum off with a torch.
