Or....if you havent had the lot resealed in a while, have a sealer laid down and the entire lot will look great and all one dark shade of black!

And figure out who is doing this and put a stop to it. If you have to put up a security camera or get someone to watch at night and a good black and white camera with night vision or ad some lights to the parking lot and get some pictures on tape of the num nuts and have the cops arrest them and let them clean up the mess they made. the one thing that works good is heavy traffic and winter and time, these are difficult to remove quickly a power washer will likely work as long as the person is experienced and does not destryo the asphalt in the process, do not use any oil or gas or anything that can ruin the ashpalt or it will look really bad.

Check the air filter, Sometimes if it gets super clogged, or a rodent got in there or something it'll prevent the engine from running. Remove the Airfilter. Check your oil, I know you said you did but humor me. Check the spark plug, remove it, inspect the end make sure it looks fine, if you see anything odd, google it. Put the plug back in, and make sure the wire snaps on the end of the plug. Give it a go. If that didn't work Since your airfilter is still off, buy some starting fluid, or just put gas inside of the carb. then give that a go, if it starts, and then runs, your good to go, if it starts, then stops afterwords that means the problem is in the fuel connection. check the fuel lines/filters. If it didn't start at all, then I would be looking at ignition/engine. good luck guy. alright, lets start with easy stuff;

However, you might have some dirt in the bowel of the carburetor, so drop that off and clean out the dirt in the main jet. Also, the float needle might be stuck closed, so no fuel getting through to the engine. 50 years fixing all types of mower engines and other engines including auto..
