    .

    as above check the oil level....when you purchase a new mower they generally don't come filled with oil...if there is oil in make sure its at the correct level,has it been turned on it side at any time?any of these will affect the engine turn over....worst case scenario is a siezed engine:(

    Get a refund and buy an Efco. I sold/sell all makes of mowers and i have never once had an efco back. Buy from somewhere you will get service. Avoid woodies and the like. My 2cents.
