Pull the starter and bench test it. LISTEN to the starter turn over. Should sound plenty strong.

To me this is a slow cranker. Check the main ground at both ends. Clean down to bare metal. Use grounding washers. This had a new battery and starter/solenoid right?

Did this ever get fixed? What was the fix action if so?

Pull the kill wire off the ignition coil. IF the coil is good, should drain the fuel tank dry. Unless you have a fuel issue that is.

THIS is the first thing to check. Fix the carb then dump the oil and filter a couple times. Looking is not a true test of the needle to seat seal. Needs pressure tested just like the needle and seat are ran under gravity pressure in normal ops. You can adjust plastic floats. If you are careful...

As in PRIOR to EVERY mow.

Need to ask why the push rods got bent.

Your stream is not working.

I know on some engines like Briggs, if you pull the top shroud off to clean the cooling fins, that top metal shroud might not be installed correctly. There is a flap cover deal that directs cooling air that the top shroud needs to fit over the tab deal to hold this flap proper. If installed...

Come on guys. SOMEONE HAS TO recommend the old 20W-50 oil trick about now....... Sounds like blade to deck interference. If it IS a rod, man that sucker is ready to let go. Definitely a metallic sound.

Just stop voting. Not like any of then do what they promise anyway. Well Trump did in his first term. His current term, completely different. Not a fan of what he is doing now. IMO two parties do not work these days. If I was in charge there would be ONE party only. Called the AMERICAN party...

Doubt a trans needs any zinc at all. Most oils have similar zinc levels these days. Not like one brand has a considerable amount over brand Y.

Sounds like it lacks enough compression to fire. What does YOUR engine manual state for minimum compression on THAT engine?

First thing to check is tire pressure. Then level the deck per your mower manual.
