Will I kill my battery by trying to start over and over? Should I pour gas into carburetor? If so, where is it and how do I do this?
Yes that should be the sound of the fuel pump. Which engine is it??? Yes if you keep on attempting to start the engine without recharging the battery the battery will die. ALso check for spark by taking a spark plug wire off of a spark plug and put a screwdriver in the end of the spark plug wire and lay it against some metal and try starting the engine and watch for a spark at the screwdriver. If no spark you will need to find the source of the problem for no spark.
