Craftsman T240 starting issue

[slomo]

Because I know it’s not a decompression issue. Have had that on others.

Well what is the exact issue then? You seem to be up on your game.

Have you actually verified that the new battery is functional and capable of delivering enough current to turn the starter?

Just sold it for 1200.

Hope you did the human thing and divulged all pertinent info to the new buyer?

Not to start anything but I'm stunned you threw in the towel and got rid of it. Sounded like you were so close to cutting grass.

They knew what was going on. Just tired of dealing with it

That's one way to get rid of a problem

Mower is a month old. Valves should not need to be adjusted at this age.

Take it back to the Dealer

Craftsman T240 has new battery and all connections are clean and tight. The only way to start the mower is to jump it with a jump starter. Any thoughts or things i should check or is this a problem with the mower. Once it is jumped, runs great. Started about a month after purchase. Thanks

If it's not too late for warranty work try it .

He washed his hands of the problem. On to the next one that we might be able to help save.
