| | | I have a Craftsman Lawn Tractor model no. 917.272751. I have put new belts,blades,spark plug,gas filter,air filter,battery, solenoid and 3 new starters. It will not start. If I keep trying to start it burns the starter up. If I hand turn the motor backward a few times it will start right up. Why?

Your question is being moved to lawn and garden. |

| It sounds like the starter gear is jamming up on the flywheel and binding the starter. I don't know what engine is on this unit, but it could be a valve adjustment if it's an OHV motor. | |

| It sounds like the valves have to be adjusted to the proper clearance. | |
