I have a b&s on my sears self propelled mower. 128M05-5468-F1. It's on a sears lawn mower the electric start was working fine until my daughter his a rock. Stopped it dead. Now the electric start won't turn the motor fast enough to start it. Battery is fully charged. I took the top off and the...

So I did purchase a battery from husqquarn from amazon. My bad it didn't work. I have the charger that came with the unit. I charged it overnight before I used it but it didn't work to start the mower. Just my car jumper x10 starts it.

I just checked the shaft and its straight. Not a bit out of round.

its an x-10 jump starter. About $180. I did see a youtube video where a guy bought a harbor freight 12 v tool batter by warrier for 15 buck with charger. I really like the idea of not having to have my lawn mower near and outlet to charge it. I could get a little plastic box to hold it and tarp...

I saw a youtube video where a guy hooked up a harbor freight 12 volt tool battery to his mower.It fired his mower right up! I like the idea of being able to bring the battery in and put it on the charger . It comes with the charger too and is only 14.99. I'm really temped to try it.

I have a feeling I broke a cell in the battery and it wasn't giving enough juice to the batter. Thanks for replying to the post.

I took a look in at the flywheel and starter and didn't see any damage. as you can see it was the wiring / battery. Thanks for you help.

So you may have been right. I took all the connectors apart and put dielectric grease on them. then I took a car jumpstart battery and hooked it up and it fired up. Maybe hitting the rock jarred the connections and also the battery. Maybe a dead cell not giving enough amps or volts or...

so today I'll pull the connections and battery and use some dialectric grease in them to see if I can improve the connections. the wires on the battery are soldered to it and lead to a molex connector. I'll also try to find the groundand sand that connection too. will advise

when I push the start button it turns the engine over. Just not fast enough to start it

I can turn the blade by hand and it starts on first or second pull . Prob start on first pull but I'm 66 and have a pulled muscle in my right shoulder, the one I pull start with. lol

Is getting to the fly wheel hard? This sounds above my paygrade.lol Any idea what a lawn mower shop would or should charge?

I'll check and clean all the connections. Thanks
