Unable to get mower to start after hauling it back to storage in a bad rainstorm, it got soaked. It's about 3 years old, not sure how to troubleshoot. Any ideas/help would be much appreciated.

Check fuses first, then fuel tank, oil dipstick, & air filter.

Do all of that and drop the float bowl, chances it will be full of water .
Get a couple of nice new plugs.
Crank the engine without a plug in the hole ( it STILL MUST BE EARTHED out to the motor ) with the throttle wide open but not enough to activate the choke.
Give it 4 or 5 nice long blasts letting the starter motor cool down between each blast.
Put your nice neew clean plug in the hole and you should be in business.
