Try to turn the motor over by hand if you can , with positive battery post disconnected for safety it should turn some , battery hooked up correctly ? Positive should go to one side of solenoid ground - should go to frame or motor base .

Charge the battery , 12.4 is basically stone dead . 2 amps or less 12 hours and see what you have then . Right off the charger it should be about 13-13.2 a 1/2 hour later should be 12.8-13.2 .If you can have it load tested .most auto parts stores can do this for you .

I have used business visions for years and very satisfied . did everything I needed then and more as I am not an accountant but he had an easy time at year end . I was after inventory control and location and it did that well . requires you to input product as it arrives every day but that was...

Anyone else catch that the starter cup wobbles when turned by hand ?

Regular services and keep the blades sharp and enjoy .

Make sure you have the throttle wide open while doing the test as well as all the other spark plugs out to reduce rolling resistance . Put the plugs in the caps and lay them on the heads while doing it . Jmho

Came up in my new today list ? Sorry

I could not tell a customer its not worth fixing till it is apart and the cause found . The fact that it has no external damage and it still runs is suspect . Obviously the crank is not broken or the cam shaft either . Not a lot of room in the cases hard to think it broke a rod and did not break...

All the engines have the same cam in them ?

Was it something you forgot to include in the quote ? Can t imagine you have been in business that long and don t have a disposal service already . What have you been doing till now ?

Looking at the pic the muffler heat sheild is cracked from both top mounting corners as well . Not likely to contribute to noisy but it will likely rattle and break off with time . While your there weld it up ?

Why did it stall ? out of gas or fouled the plug ? Were you still mowing when it stalled ? Tall grass over loaded ?

Start by doing a compression test and then adjust the valves and replace the plug and see what your compression test reads after to see if there is any improvement .

If you step on the snap on truck the calibration device is usually on the wall behind the driver. Beam type and several klicker types and a new digital beeper one , checked every year . And likely the only thing free on that truck !!

Borrow from an auto parts store ? Do a compression test 1 st .
