How do you start a push lawn mower that;s brand new?

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.


How do you know if your push mower engine is locked up?

Remove the spark plug and try to pull start it. With the spark plug out try to manually rotate the blade. If the blade rotates, the mower is not locked up. It is possible there is something wrong with the recoil starter. Sometimes the float in the carburetor gets stuck open and gas will fill the cylinder, this will not allow you to pull the starting rope. With the spark plug removed pull the starting rope hard this will push out any excess fuel in the cylinder. Put the spark plug back in and try to start it.

How do you get a new lawn mower to start when the starter pull cord is already pulled out?

If it's new you will probably only have to loosen the screws that hold the recoil down, lift it up and the rope should go back in. You may have to take it all the way off, but that should fix it. If you take it all the way off, before you replace the screws, hold the recoil down with your hand and pull on the cord alittle and make sure it's engaging
