Drain the oil and catch it in a clean container if you intend on reusing the same oil . Then replace the plug and place the correct amount of oil in the motor.
The engine floods and you have to wait for the lawnmower to drain before you start it up again or it might start smoking.
It is difficult to start and emits a smelly white smoke once running.

Briggs has a rudimentary wiring diagram for the operation of an electric start engine. see the link below.
The primer on a lawnmower is a small bulb that helps to draw fuel into the carburetor, making it easier to start the engine. By pressing the primer, you inject a small amount of fuel into the engine, which provides the necessary mixture for ignition. This is especially useful for cold starts or when the mower has been sitting for a while. Essentially, it helps to ensure a quick and reliable start-up.
As long as the battery in the lawnmower is a 12 Volt battery you will be fine.
plug it in and push the on button
A magnet in a lawnmower may be used as part of the magneto ignition system to generate electricity for the spark plug. This helps ignite the fuel mixture in the engine, allowing the lawn mower to start and run efficiently.
The "W" on an engine oil bottle is short for weight. A bottle that says 15W50 will have the weight of the oil at 15 at the coolest point and 50 at its warmest point. If oil is too heavy in the colder months, it will gum up and the engine will not turn over to start.
To start a lawnmower, first ensure that it has enough fuel and that the oil level is adequate. Check that the spark plug is clean and properly connected. If it's a gas mower, engage the choke if the engine is cold, pull the starter cord firmly, and release the choke once it starts. For electric mowers, simply plug it in or ensure the battery is charged, then press the start button or pull the lever.
Yes, a lawnmower can run on a bad battery if it has a pull-start or manual start option, as these methods do not rely on the battery. However, if the lawnmower is electric or requires the battery for ignition, a bad battery will prevent it from starting. In such cases, replacing or recharging the battery is necessary for proper operation.
If the wrong oil is used in a lawnmower, do not start it. Simply drain the oil as completely as possible and fill with the proper oil.
