I recently got an old lawn mower as a gift, but it won't start. Does anyone have tips on what might be wrong or how I can fix it? I've attached a link with a picture for reference.

It sounds like old fuel might be the issue. I recommend draining both the tank and the carburetor, then using some starting fluid with fresh fuel to see if that helps. It’s a pretty common fix for these kinds of problems!
If you need to know how to empty the carb without draining the tank again, it can be a bit tricky. You usually can just locate the drain screw on the carb and let it empty out, but make sure you have a catch basin for the fuel. It’s good practice to empty it out now and then.
