I have a Snapper S200x with 700+ hours on it. On Tuesday evening, started right up and mowed for about 2 hrs with no issues. Last night went to mow and nothing. Just a high pitch hum and a click when i tried to start it. Tried it again this evening and same thing, high pitch hum and a click. This time i noticed smoke coming from the bottom of the mower. Upon further investigation, i noticed the negative cable at the bottom of the motor was smoking and the insulation is burnt. The neg cable on the battery side is fine.
Looks like a pain to change due to not much room. But first, i need to investigate what caused so much heat in the first place. Or should i just change out the cable and try again?
Thank you in advance!
