How do I fix my lawn mower it will not start ?

How do I fix my lawn mower it will not start ?It is a Briggs and Stratton Motor Model 220

To run, it needs fuel, air, compression and spark.
Check to see whats lacking. If your motor has the fuel tank below the carb.,which aslo acts as a pump, there is a top gasket/valve diaphram which fails. Easy to replace and quite cheap. The plastic inlet manifold can also fracture if the carb./tank unit has become loose.
