how do i get my mower started?

i have a 179cc kawasaki huskee supreme self propelling lawn mower. i have filled it with gas and oil and pushed the plastic bulb that primes the engine and gives it gas. and despite my best effort i can not get it to turn over. it does not even sound like it wants to start. i let it sit, thinking i had flooded it and have pulled the cord several times without success. this is the first time this season i have tried to start it. however last year, when it was new, i had trouble with it as well and several times had to ask someone else to get it started for me.
Any suggestions?

Check the spark plug is clean and is set correctly (0.76mm) is usually the setting, but it could vary.
or 0.030inches)
The theory of these engines is very simple but they can be obstinate!
