      Your Southland Lawn Mower engine might not start due to several reasons: the ignition switch may be in the “OFF” position (move it to the ON position), the fuel tank may be empty (fill it with the correct fuel mixture), the spark plug may not be firing (replace the spark plug), or fuel may not be reaching the carburetor (check for kinked or split fuel line; repair or replace).
