Yes, thank you all for your help and suggestions.

Had it picked up by a local small engine repair place and the valves were out of adjustment as well as one push rod was completely off rocker

Haven't had time to work on it again.

Arrow on fuel filter is pointing towards the fuel tank. It is currently in the same position as when the mower was working in the past. I'm posting a link to the latest video after applying wd40 to the starter gear. The starter gear will drop manually but when trying to start the mower, the...

Is the number stamped on the metal part I posted earlier the right number?

Yes, thanks. What could be causing it to not disengage? Does it move away, drop down, or what usually? Sorry, I'm no mechanic and hubby knows some electrical,..

Our charger tells us it's fully charged. Can you show me on the picture where the starter shows engaged?

Put the battery on charger and didn't take long to be fully charged. This is short video of trying to start again. My husband says he feels vibration. https://photos.app.goo.gl/Qk8i5UkJKJPqf9Ls6

My husband said what he can see of the fuel seems to run properly but engine will not crank. We were unable to work on it for a couple weeks after catching the rope and after removing the rope and making sure the blades spin freely, when he first started it is when it has backfiring and and a...

When we were trying to see if the issue was the fuel filter, we discovered there seems to be conflicting information on different parts of the mower. The fuel filter that's listed on the sticker on the mower hood doesn't look anything like what's currently on it and is much smaller. We did buy...

How would we check that? The engine doesn't even really try to start now. We're not mechanics and only have basic tools.

Mower caught a hidden rope and we didn't realize until the mower shut off on its on its own. Rope had partially melted on but as far as we can tell, we've removed it all and blades spin freely by hand. The mower then would not start without starter fluid sprayed into carb intake (which has been...
