starting

New poster here. I've enjoyed reading this forum over the years, but never made any posts, but I'm in need of some advice. Background: A few years ago, I bought a Husqvarna YTH2348 with a Briggs engine for $500 from a guy who was moving away and needed to offload it. Right up front, he told me...

Since day one, when endeavoring to start the mower, on first try I get only a click, and on second try turns over and starts immediately. I installed a relay per the dealers instructions, but nothing changed. Any thoughts on how to correct this would be greatly appreciated.

I have a Husqvarna YTH 1846 with a Briggs 540 cc 18.5 hp mower that will not start. The last time it was used it started and ran fine. I got off the machine to open up a gate and when I tried to start it back up it would not start. When the key is turned the motor will turn over slightly and...

I picked up this motor on a 7,000w Dayton generator at an estate sale. It was still in the box so never been used. It was manufactured in 1999 I believe or close to that. I did a quick look at the carburetor and all the seals look fine. I have a rebuild kit if I can even get that far. I put a...

Im new to this forum and DIY repairs. My echo srm225 has run great for years. Finally put in a new carb a couple yrs ago and all well until recently. Now very hard starting and fuel leaking out spark arrestor. The arrestor is very clean? Any ideas? “Another” carb. Any help appreciated.

I have a 2022 Craftsman T2400 with a Kohler 7000 engine. It has 48 hours on it and I am on my 3rd battery (the tiny batteries from Vietnam). The engine is very difficult to start because it appears as though the battery doesn't have the 'juice' to crank the motor. Is anyone else facing this...

I have a zero-turn Toro TimeCutter model #75750. The problem is that it just clicks when trying to start, I have replaced the battery and I see a black plastic coated wire that needs to be plugged in somewhere, but I have searched everywhere and don't see where it goes. Could this be the...

So far I've changed the ignition switch, PTO switch and solenoid - all brand new. The starter checks out ok. Turn the key and nothing happens. If I turn the key on and place a screwdriver across solenoid bolts it starts right up and runs perfect. I don't know what to look at next?

I have a push mower that has been sitting idle for about 15 years. The oil and gas tank were drained prior to storage. I imagine the carb is shot but what would be the best procedure to try and start this thing back up? Thanks
