Hello everyone,

I have an L100 that I take care of very well. I just put a new set of blades on for the third season and was out mowing today. After mowing, I was on my way to wash it down and put it away and it just stopped. It won't turn over anymore. The starter works just fine and the engine is not frozen. There is plenty of fuel and it is getting to the mower. None of the safety stuff is causing the problem. I still need to see if juice is flowing to the spark plug, but when I try to start it, it never turns over. Any other ideas?

Thanks

When You Say The Starter Works Fine, Then You Say That The Engine Will Not Turn Over, I Assume You Removed The Starter And Tested It . Well You May Have A Starter That Will Spin Over Freely When Off The Engine, But When It Has A Load Trying To Turn Over The Engine It Is Too Weak. You Can Get A Rebuild Kit For The Starter, But I Suggest Trying To Buy A New Or Used Starter At A Local Shop.
Have Your Starter Professionally Tested And Let Me Know.
