I have two lawnmowers and can't get either one started. One cranks for less than 5 seconds, then shuts off. The other simply doesn't crank, but it fires. I've changed the spark plugs, oiled & gases both with the same results.
Can anyone give me any insight into the problem?

What type of machine? How old? Engine size? Make of engine and equipment?
Have spark at the plug all the time. Have fuel getting to the carb? Will either run by putting fuel in the cylinder and then die?
Need more answers to answer the questions

Also you need to specify terminology. If you pull the
rope or turn the key, and the engine spins, that is
"cranking". If it cranks and will actually fire, hit,
cough, and run for a second or two, then stop, then your
ignition and compression systems are probably ok and you
need to concentrate on the fuel area{carb}. But you
really need to post the engine's model numbers so we
know what you have.
