    Poulan Pro 1842 STC riding mower won't start

    Can you open from the top? Otherwise, I have to take the whole engine out from the body. Is that right way to go?

    Can you open up from the top and replace or you have to remove the engine and open it from the bottom?

    Poulan Pro 1842 STC riding mower won't start

    Looks like my connecting is broken. How do you replace it? Please see attached pictures. I was able to push piston in, and there was no issue. But now my engine doesn't rotate to push it out. Any suggestion?

    Thank you! I just checked. It was low. Does that lock your engine? Nice feature. Just curious.

    I have Poulan Pro 1842 STC that stopped while I was cutting my grass. I felt little resistance just before mower stopped. While stopping, there was metallic sound. I took apart the housing. My battery is good. My engine won't rotate by hand. When I try starting, I see that starter motor is...
