I have a new problem that just developed today.
Earlier in the year I put a new starter on this mower and it has been working fine. I noticed the other day that the gauge that shows charge/discharge was showing only about 5volts. The battery was not low because it kept starting. The battery was new last fall.
Today I went out and it started and was showing a charge voltage of 15volts. I mowed about half of my lawn, which is large. On the back half of the lawn I stopped and shut it off to pick up sticks and limbs.
It sounded like something was still running. Starter motor maybe? What else would run off the battery? It finally quit. Then when I tried to start it nothing happened. It did not even click. The lights work. I don't think the battery is dead.
I am looking for tips and maybe where to start at to fix this problem. All help appreciated.
