I got a 14.5 briggs and stratton on a craftsman lawn mower & I was cutting the grass where a pool use to
be well after I was done I went to get out of the area where the pool use to be and the area where the pool use to be was like 6 in. lower then the regular ground level & I get stuck with blade on & the blade start nicking the deck making sparks. So I hurry up & shut the blade off & I get unstuck & it never stopped running until I turned off the mower. Well the next day I try & start it & it wont even turnover, and I don't think its the ignition switch because I tried starting it from solenoid & still got nothing does anybody have any ideas what it might be? And if so things I should try & do to get it going?

This is a "very" dangerous situation. You should "always" turn the mower off BEFORE clearing the blades (unstuck) If it never stopped running, you might have a faulty PTO switch sensor (blade sensor)
