Riding Mower and Tractor: Won't start
There are numerous explanations for why a riding lawn mower wont start, including everything from bad gas or a bad battery to a failed starter motor or bad ignition coil.

If you find yourself constantly having to charge the battery before starting the engine, a bad battery or failed alternator could be causing the problem. Connect the battery to a charger and if the battery wont charge fully within 8 hours, then youll likely need to replace the battery. If the battery is okay, then a problem in the engines charging system is causing the constantly drained battery. The engine uses an alternator to generate current, which constantly charges the battery and powers the mowers electrical system while the engine runs. When the alternator fails, the battery attempts to power the mower on its own and quickly drains without recharging.

If the engine spins but wont start when you turn the ignition key, the engine is missing one of its key ingredients for startingfuel, compression or spark. Check your basics first, then watch this video for troubleshooting tips to get the engine started: Riding Lawn Mower Engine Spins But Won't Start.

You may hear a click when you turn the ignition key but nothing else. A dead battery, bad starter solenoid, failed starter motor or a seized engine could be the cause. Our video, Riding Lawn Mower Engine Clicks But Doesn't Turn Over, will help you figure out what to fix.

When the mower seems completely dead, youll need to check the battery, ignition switch, interlock switches, starter solenoid and wiring to find out whats wrong. This video will help you systematically check those parts: Riding Lawn Mower Engine Wont Turn Over or Click.
