Just looking for some confirmation before dropping the cash on a new starter...
So, the issue I'm experiencing is the mower starts to turn over, depending on where it is in the "combustion cycle", for lack of a better term. Seems to get to point point during turning over that the compression is too much to overcome, so it stops. I can bump the starter but it won't go past that point on it's own. I can hand turn the engine past that point and sometimes, its like it can build enough momentum to continue, then it fires right up. Other times not.
I repaired a BUNCH of mouse chewed wiring today, under the cowl that holds the steering column in place between the steering column and the gas tank-suggestions to keep them bitches away appreciated too. I was hoping it was that, but nooooo....
Oh, and I tested a fuel solenoid over near the carb at my BIL's suggestion, it seems to work as it pops out when the key is turned.
Motor spins freely if that solenoid is unplugged or the spark plug is taken out.
go....
