Mower repair question
I recently bought an old Ariens riding mower (pull-start), and after
cleaning out the carb, I managed to get it started. However, whenever I take the mower out of neutral (not necessarily into another gear, just out of neutral enough to disconnect the neutral safety switch), it dies. I thought the purpose of this switch was only as a safety for starting - shouldn't the magneto coils maintain the spark after the initial start? To clarify: it is not going dead because of any load on the engine - just the disconnection of the safety switch. In the meantime, I bypassed this switch (since its just wire in, wire out, with a contact between the two), and now it won't start at all. I feel like there might be something else going on besides just this switch. Any help would be appreciated! |
