Sounds like you have a weak spark or a fouled plug that is not burning the fuel completely and the fuel is escaping into the muffler via the exhaust valve. This could be dangerous (heat + fuel = danger). Check the spark plug, the spark plug wire, etc for a good spark - the contacts on the magneto could be dirty or rusty too. Another reason could be a stuck fuel float in the carburetor - you will have to remove the carburetor to check.
It just unscrews from the motor
Zero turn lawn mowers can be either a riding lawn mower or a push lawn mower, depending on you're preference. Push lawn mowers start around three hundred dollars.
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.

Not on a push mower that has no electric start. On a riding mower, yes there is an ignition key.

Depends on the size of the lawn mostly. A push mower (or better yet a powered drive push mower) would have the best control in rough terrain, but if it is a large lawn a riding mower is better.
If you have a simple push mower, the governor is a small plastic fin attached to your throttle. The fin is underneith the engine cover in the area that spins (part that you pull on a pull start mower)
what kind of oil for a sears push mower and how much?
If it's coming from the rear, I would check either your catalytic converter or your muffler. Either could have pieces loose in them that would cause a rattling sound when you either push or release the throttle.
a push mower DOES NOT NEED GAS!! ( a good one though LOL)
