New mower at the end of last season. Used it 2 times, emptied fluids, stored.
Added gas, oil & charged. The electric start is not starting mower.
I have re-charged several times & tried to start on several days - won't fully kick in.
What else can I try?
Thanks

Check the blade safety . Normal winter light surface rust could be on the handle/cable telling the engine it can't start because the blades are on - wd40 - follow the cable .
Also look for mice bites around any wires from winter nesting .

If you bought it last fall the unit is under warranty. Take back to the dealer, should repair at no charge, two year coverage.

Agreed. And make sure you get them to tell you exactly what was wrong and come back to this post and tell us what the problem was - by doing this you accomplish several things - you now know what to do in the future, you told us so we know what to look for and/or advise others on a similar problem and you increase the information base of this forum.

Thanks and I look forward to your answer.

You didn't mention if you tried to start your mower using the cord. If it starts with the cord, then I would think the problem is with the battery not getting enough of a charge. Could be the battery or the charger.
