What's wrong with my lawnmower?

Asked by Stinley (11525points) April 17th, 2017 from iPhone

It won’t start. It’s a Honda 3009 or similar. Ride on tractor style. Petrol engine. Quite old.

You turn the key and there is a click and bit of whirring but nothing else. The battery is fine and my husband also tried to jump start it with the car. We tried pushing it down a short hill then putting it in gear. The wheels just locked and it screeched to a halt. No reaction from the engine.

Thoughts as to the source of the problem? Engine? Starter motor?
