I had to say "Thank you!" I have never troubleshooted starting a mower. I tried jumping the mower off, but absolute nothing. I watched your video and figured out the blades were engaged! I put the lever on the turtle and jumping cables and I got my yard all cut! Thank you so very much! You made this seem like it was something I could do and with that encouragement, I feel like I learned and accomplished a major task! Thank you, Charlotte

Drain the float bowl for the Winter. Put some gumout in the float bowl to keep the needle valve from sticking. Don't leave yard equipment out in the rain! Put a little oil in the cylinder to oil the cylinder. Then crank it around with the plug wire unhooked. Replace the carburetor in the spring. Change the oil and filter. Check the blades and spindles. BTW, that pose is from Hulk Hogan! I went to school with Hulk from 5-10th grade! He came up with the name in the 6th when he was 13! I watched him wrestle a guy on the playground in the 6th! That was Hulk-a-mania being born! He had bangs from 5-10th grade. He had that gravely voice since the 5th grade. He played football. He has Hulk's Shop in Florida.

You sir are a genius. You got me at step 4 - the blade was not completely disengaged.

Nice video. I had a problem with starting. Thought battery was dead. I charged it up but still wouldn't start. It would start with a jump. Turns out all I had to do was clean the battery cable connection. So check the connector on the battery cables and battery terminal connectors before buying a new battery or even before charging your battery. May not need a charge but only a quick scrape with a screw driver or sand paper or wire brush.

My mother in law has a craftsman lt1000 with a 18hp Briggs and Stratton that spins over but just pops when the choke is on. I took off the carb and cleaned it and change the spark plugs and made sure the fuel filter was clean. I don't think it's getting a spark because I took the spark plug out and hooked it up to the wire and couldn't see it sparking at all. Do you think the coil has gone bad? Also one of the rocker arms was way loose but I tightened it up better than it was but I got to get a feeler gauge and do it right. Thanks for any feedback.

Step 1.5 If you have a fuel valve, make sure the fuel valve is turned on:)

The latest one that I"ve been thru-"troy bilt Bronco",turn the key nothing at all happens But if I leave the key on and run a jumper from the positive terminal,directly to the starter, it fires right up.From what I've learned on u-tube,probably bad ground,I"ll check that or I"ll just run it like that.Remember there"s a million safety switches (ok,probably 4 or 5),That"ll keep these things from getting power to the starter.Brake switch,blade engagement switch parking brake switch,reverse switch(so you can"t mow in reverse(How stupid!),oh,seat switch,if your ass isn"t sitting on the seat-no go(very handy)I jumped all that crap out along time ago ,hell,I just wanna cut the damn grass!

@Joshua Bailey sounds like the fuel shutoff solenoid. Look at botttom of the fuel bowl on the carburetor, You will see the solenoid with the power wire going into the bottom of it. When you turn on the key you should hear it click, that lets the gas flow through the carb. No click no gas no start.

Having trouble with my John deere LA 145 unless I jump start my starter it want turn over with much force at all..but when i jump start the starter it turns over strong but it will not crank up unless I put alittle gas or starter fluid down the carburetor then it runs until it burns it off then back to just turning over..remember only while jumping it off it will turn over with power..while with no cables to jump it there's not much power..battery shows 12.3 on my Multimeter heard that could be even to low. Ive pulled my plugs while trying to start it but it acts the same as my above statements.. and ive done spark test and plugs are sparking..could this be a safety switch.

With my 11 year old Craftsman, I have to have my backside in the seat and foot on the brake or it won't start as a safety feature. I wonder if the starter is another vague thing to check? Another thing I just learned is that the throttle cable can be a bit loose and doesn't open it up all the way. A simple tightening of the cable screw near the lever is an option. This winter I recharged the battery a few times during storage and it said 100% but when I tried it the first time this season, no turnover. Thought it might finally be the starter but went for the easy thing first and it was the battery after all. Thanks for the checklist on starting problems.

Mine cranks but won't catch. Btand bew battery , was told I may have to charge it since it might have lost charge on the store shelf.

My neighbors left a lawn King behind so I told them to leave it at my house. They decided to just give it to me. I have an older Briggs and Stratton that runs great still but I can't get this darn lawn king that's alot nicer and newer to start and it's driving me nuts 😅 my old one needs a new belt on the bottom and I have to remove the blade because my kids love to leave their socks in the yard and my son ran them all over 😒 now they're wrapped all in the blade. I'll try to disengage the blade. I've never used it. All flat tires 😂but tires are cheaper then a new mower

My lawn mower won’t fire up, just click sound after deck belt replacement. Checked all the wires, battery, nothing wrong. Turned out the nut underneath the engine was NOT tightened properly! Once it was tightened properly, the lawnmower fired up when the key was turned on. Just trying to share this with people

If single cylinder, it's on the front - look for a large diameter wire. When the engine is off and cool, grasp the boot (rubber elbow) and pull it off. There's the spark plug! If it's a two cylinder, the plugs will be on the sides arranged in a V opposite each other. You can unscrew the plug using a Crescent wrench, just be sure not to round off the corners.

update on my mower : someone repurposed the 2 main power wires . red wire and the double red/white wire the problem with the mower that i have was someone crossed the solid red wire with the ground red/white stripe wire . red wire [ starter jumper wire for solenoid ] red wire/ white stripe [ ground wire for hot side of solenoid for the carburetor ] ( is tied in with the safety switch [[ both of them . . .is like a secondary hot wire ]] . everytime i turned the key to crank it , the starter would have a slight click. had to remove the wires from the computator plug with a 90 degree awl to bend the metal catch so i could get it out, and put it in the place it was supposed to be for to begin with. when i had recieved the new ignition switch, all the letters were in the wrong place. had to result to the O.G. ignition switch. good news is, that if i need a new ignition switch, i can always move the female spade terminal plugs to where they are supposed to be. going to make a small correct color wire spade plug so i will know where the wires will go.
