I just mowed last week, but now it won't start. When I mowed last week the mower was low on gas, but I wanted to get as much done as I could. I ended up running out of gas and my paw paw had to help me get it to the building. We put it in neutral, pulled it with his fourwheeler, and pushed it into the building. Now this week I filled it with gas, went to start it, and it would not turn over. It tries to, but won't. I have no idea what could be wrong.

You might not have all the safety features engaged and that is why it won't start. Here is a troubleshooting guide from the company. www.cubcadet.com/
Thanks, but I always check safety features first thing beside if it was it wouldn't have been doing anything at all. I was able to get a hold of my paw paw and we got it started.
Unplug the pto,plug it back up, it should start.
Had an issue with starting on my Cub. Primed it with a shot of Eyther and started but died after running for about 30 secs.
Found a fuse burned and replaced with a smaller fuse.
Problem played out that it didnt make contact.
Tech replaced the fuse and started immediately.
That fuse corroded and didnt let my mower start even though I had the problem solved but replaced with the wrong size.
Have you tried to prime the carburetor?
This might be helpful, from ShopYourWay:
It's very possible that there was some trash/debris floating around in the fuel tank and when the engine ran out the stuff was sucked into the fuel line.
If you're sure the fuel lines are clean and debris free, you'll need to remove the bowl of the carburetor to clean it out. It's possible to have some trash/debris sitting in the bottom of the carb bowl that it stopping up the jets.
Normally in these circumstances it is fuel related problems causing trouble. It's also possible that you over primed or over choked when trying to re-start and flooded the engine. Take the spark plug out and see if it's wet. If it is, dry the plug off good and let it sit with the plug out for about an hour. Put the spark plug back in and see if you can start the mower.
When the sparks are in the mower it wont turn when the spark plugs are out the engine will turn
What your Pawpaw told you was exactly what I'd have have told you to try first. I'm wondering if in doing so, that he showed you how to do it in the event it happens again? I have owned mowers and other equipment that we had to Prime the carburetor every time we started it.
