Ok im only 14 i couldent find anywhere that would let a 14 year old work and i found a lawn mower our neighbors threw out so i decided to go around mowing yards. i changed the oil, carburator, gas, air cleaner, fuel line, spark plug, and pull rope. It was running good but yesterday i was working on it and the only way to get it to start is to set it to medium throttle and as soon as it starts it shuts off. So i put it at medium throttle again and as soon as it starts you have to switch it to full throttle. i dont get it, it shouldent be run ning like this, BTW its a craftsman 22" mulcher push mower with a 5.5 horse tecumseh motor.

What the first answerer was referring to is the primer. It sends a bit of gas into the combustion chamber to coat (or prime) it.
I don't know if you've tried it, but I always start mowers on the lowest possible throttle and then gradually work them up once it's been started. It could be that you are just running too rich or lean on gas. But the carburator should take care of that. Maybe try giving it some more air through the carburator and see if that helps. My old mower used to burn so much gas it was insane. I'd get big clouds of it when i first started it. But it always started on the first pull so I didn't mess with it.
EDIT: another thing i thought of is that some mowers use a gas/oil mixture. And i've seen some weird concentrations. you might want to check on that to see if this one requires anything special like that.

lawn mower mulcher door problem?
peace...an
the torsion spring came loose from the plastic door. how do i get it back on?
Answer
you have to examine the particular hinge you have and try to figure it out. What you often see in that situation is the plastic breaks and can't hold the spring in place any longer. What I do when that happens is get some self tapping screws, or predrill a hole in each corner of the door and the mower deck and install some short regular sheet metal screws screws to hold it in place. Be sure they are not so long that they come anywhere near the blade as it rotates.
