Post model number from under seat & all engine numbers.

Check engine ground cable from negative battery cable to engine crankcase, check for corrosion & being tight.

Model 917-275350 year 2003 16 hp OHV Craftsman I/C
i pulled both ground cable and hot cable cleaned both and cased both to the ends and cleaned all connections

only thing i have n't done is pull starter and have it load tested it does spin freely with plug out lol but with plug in --
sping then hit top presure and stops


any good ideas

CRAFTSMAN Tractor Parts | Model 917275350 | SearsPartsDirect Batteries are load tested, starters are checked on engine with machine to check starter draw. Check out wiring diagram at bottom of page, using a multimeter tool you can diagnose your problem.

Seems it would have to be electrical. A week starter and/or battery as Mark is talking about.

I had a battery on my Ford Bronco, that showed a full charge. But would hardly turn the motor over... New battery, and whamooo, fixed the problem.
