My lawnmower won't start.. Can you help?

Question

It's a Briggs and Stratton 350 electric start.. or something like that.. It worked fine but then when i turned it off to change the bag it didn't turn back on again. Well it seems that gas is just not going through.. that red cold start pump.. I press it and press it but i don't feel like the gas is going through it just feels like there's air.. so i checked the gas hose and it seems like everything there it's fine ... how can i make it start..?

Answer 1

you said you shut it off to change the bag, is there any kind of safety switch involved with that bag?  like if it's not reinstalled correctly it won't let the mower start?  My mower is a mulcher, so I've never used a bagger..  just a thought

Answer 2

have u tried priming it and then trying to turn it on>?

Answer 3

Prime it by taking off the air filter and putting about a teaspoon full of gas directly into the carbruator.  Then try to start it.
