Craftsman garden tractor: hit the key cranks for second then stops pull the plug and it will crank forever. Battery is new unit is 2 years old very limited use. Any ideas thanks
Complete model numbers for the mower & engine would be good.
You symptoms are typical of no decompression.
Check the valve lash.
If the valves are correct & the inlet does not reopen to ,decompress ( depending upon which engine you have ) then the Decompression mechanism on your cam is broken.
I agree with Bert......... That is a common issue on this forum..... Either the valves are out of adjust or the ACR is laying in the sump..... Easy repair and the cam is less than 90 bux..............
Let us know about the valve adjustment ...........
