Default mower won't turn over

Maybe dead battery, or bad starter. Try jumping it, or pull the plug
and see if it will turn over without compression


And if when you crank it with the plug out, it cranks fine and gas shoots
out of the plug hole then the carb is hosed up. Fluids don't compress
easily.


My thoughts exactly. Thats what happened to my Agway ride-on mower.
The motor would not even crank. When I pulled the plug it was all
flooded with gas. let it dry a bit, put the plug back and it fired up.
