I have a brand new, old stock Simplicity Courier Zero Turn that won't start. Mowed yesterday for about 4 hours, refilled the tank and parked it last night. Went to start it today and it will not. It cranks and spits and pops but will not run. The safety interlock on the seat, steering handles and electric clutch seem t be working just fine, but it won't run. I sprayed a spritz of starting fluid direct into the carb - no help. Where should I start looking - and how do I get warranty service for this? Thanks!

First, pull the plugs and see if they are wet with water. Your fuel can may have had water in it.

To get warranty, call the dealer you purchased it from for instructions.

Resolution?!

Went out to the barn intending to do whatever was needed to get the mower started, sat down, grabbed the key, gave it a twist and away she went! Used it all day without a hitch. Problem is: I have no idea why it wouldn't start in the first place and I'm sure - with my luck - it will happen again. Oh well.....

To remove the lingering doubt, have the local shop do a warranty check over and test run, they can file it under a customer satisfaction adjustment.
