Mower problem

[Staffordian]

Hey guys,

I have recently purchased a Briggs & Stratton 190cc lawn mower. Today I was working on the grass and suddenly it went off and I couldn't start it again. I checked the oil and fuel status but it was okay. No smoke nothin' but I just can't start it anymore. It's equipped with a pullstart system.

What do you think the problem is and what should I do?

Thanks!

Check to see if you have spark.

Right before it stopped, what happened? Did you hit something?. Did it stop outright? Did it slowly die?

Did you check air filter to see if it was clogged up with grass? Had one like this not too long ago where the owner only mulched and enough grass and other stuff got jammed in the filter area and would not start. Once filter was cleaned it started up fine.
