1863 Starting Problem
On Friday I was mowing and had to stop to clear the grass chute. Then the mower would not start again. I would get 2 faint clicks only. The dash board lights would come on. Later I was able to get it to start but it would shut off after a second or two. We checked the battery, starter, solonoid to no avail. It has a new ignition coil, spark plugs, fuel pump, and fuel line filter. I had the starter tested and removed quite a bit of dirt and grease from the receptacle where the starter is inserted. Afterwards it started. I don't know if we corrected a loose connection or what. It has only started once this season and allowed me to mow the entire yard in one session. Every other time time I have to play with it for hours until it finally starts. First it was the gas line filter, next sediment in the tank and this time we have no idea. Any suggestions?
