Columbia mowers have been built by MTD since they purchased the company in the 60's. To my knowledge they are only sold in Canada at this time. For mower parts I would contact your MTD dealer, and any Briggs dealer can help you with engine parts.

It seems you are seeking help here, so what happens when you try to start it? Do you feel compression? is there spark?. It might also help to have the engine model, type, and code if you want to go further
