First remove the spark plug and try your starter again. If that works ok, then check your exhaust valve to see if it it releasing pressure. Your cam shaft may be broken.
First you have to lock the parking brake then cut and twist the seat wiring together sometimes just unplug the useless thing then take out your old spark plug turn the key a while let off then turn again let all the water and gas blow out the plug hole it wouldn't hurt to check the valves but that ain't the problem While letting the piston dry with the plug out clean the little holes in the carburetor jets test the bowl solenoid with your charger or battery and dump old gas out check for bad gas line clean up all any wire connections clean the old plug off and on the end spray any oil on it make sure your air filter is clean no dirt dust in it grease stains and gas on it doesn't matter its the dust particles that'll get sucked in so check that out Its not getting enough volts clean off the battery terminals then spray them with oil plug your charger on let it sit with the key to off for 5 or 10 minutes. But before trying to start you need to get that oil out with the shopvac you shot a bunch of water in it
Pressure wash is always the LAST thing we do, AFTER we make sure mower starts/runs. Diagnose, resolve issues (tune up, clean carb, drive belt,etc) maintenance (oil change, sharpen blades, new filter). THEN clean, and reconfirm start and run.
No it needs a battery then he needs to hook the charger to the battery and let it sit I'd have it started. It'll spin fast if he takes the plug out it has fluid or something in the piston housing that needs blown out
Starter sounds good
That piece on the bottom of the carb is a solenoid switch that shuts the fuel on and off when you turn the key

I wonder if the power washing of the engine got a little too much water in either the electrical system or the carburetor?
Maybe
It’s fun to fix them up in good shape
But I got some many allready
But still tryed to buy two more today

While letting the piston dry with the plug out clean the little holes in the carburetor jets test the bowl solenoid with your charger or battery and dump old gas out check for bad gas line clean up all any wire connections clean the old plug off and on the end spray any oil on it make sure your air filter is clean no dirt dust in it grease stains and gas on it doesn't matter its the dust particles that'll get sucked in so check that out

@1:15 was that a cat making that noise?
you may want to make sure that the brake is depressed
You pulled the oil dipstick out when removing the shroud, and THEN pressure washed?! Water in the oil for sure now....
You need more voltage my old mower does that same thing
Yup thats what its needing
And now your set do all this if you haven't already
i think you put water in the oil
That is a fuel shut off solenoid
Decompression Spring on cam shaft is broke
Replace the starter and adjust the valves

Not for me i wash it first then dry it with the leaf blower and air compressor
That's your fuel shutoff solenoid
Yeah, I figured that out. But they took the lawn more from me anyways.
It's the valves
The valves need to be adjusted
No it needs a battery then he needs to hook the charger to the battery and let it sit I'd have it started. It'll spin fast if he takes the plug out it has fluid or something in the piston housing that needs blown out
Change the oil their is gas in it
Frustrating to watch
Kinda funny
