Default mower won't turn over

...
my 42" MTD mower with a 17hp. motor won't turn over..new starter, new
battery. when i turn the key it seems like the battery doesnt have enough
'umph' to get the motor spinning...i have the correct cold cranking amps
for the size motor.also, am i correct in assuming that when the motor is
running that the battery is getting charged. the mower is about 4 years
old..
thanks, cj


I would put the battery on a charger. While I was waiting for the battery
to charge I would clean all connections. Is there a starting solenoid?
