Default Fixing an Abandoned, but New Mower

Please try a squirt of ether on the air filter. that will
feed some vapor in, without risking damage to the mower. If
that helps, you likely have a carb problem with dried out
gasoline.

Throwing terms around loosely? Guilty as charged!

I replaced the spark plug and wouldn't know how to check for
a spark.
Truthfully, I don't know if it is sparking or not. But it
doesn't make
any sound at all that make it sound like it is trying to
start.

Float bowl of the carburetor is a good place to look -
that's the
information that I was looking for. Thanks.
