When I turn the key to start, Nothing happens, No clicks nothing.

I replaced the battery. It started the first time. Mowed the lawn some when the baggers got filled. I took my foot off the break/start lever to empty out the grass. Tried to start it again, it didn't start even with the new battery. Pushed it back to the garage. Now I have to always jump start it. Mow a little, release the lever, unload baggers, push it back to the garage, jump start it and repeat the cycle.

With the mower running check and see how many volts at the battery. Should be over 13.
Why do you shut it off to empty the bagger?

(( racing is the only sport that you need two balls ))

When I take foot off the stop/start lever to empty out baggers, it shuts off by itself. I have to get off the mower to unload baggers. It does not start again unless I jump start it. Even then I have to keep pressing the lever with my foot.
