So we just bought this used Huskee lt 3800 last night. It took a couple tries but cranked up fine before we loaded it. We kinda did something dumb and accidentally turned it over when loading it, but no visible damage. The sellers said the carburators had been cleaned, oil changed, etc. This morning it won't crank. I made sure the switch on the fuel line was set to open, tried with choke on and off. It will sometimes turn over, sometimes not, and sometimes it makes a little beep or dinging sound but it won't start. I would upload a video but it says file size too big.

Start by removing the spark plugs and see if it will turn over. May just be hydro locked. Also check to make sure all battery connections are clean and tight.

I'll bet the seller charged the battery just for you.
