Troybilt 1842 will bump, but won't turn the engine over

Hello all,

I have replaced the battery, replaced the solenoid, checked all the fuses, replaced the gas, had the starter checked, and tested every safety switch I can find. It simply acts like the battery isn't strong enough to turn over the engine, but the store checked it and says it's not the battery (2 months old). I've tightened and cleaned every connection from the battery to the starter, but still it just "bumps" and won't turn over. I'm stumped!

Hi,
If it is and OHV engine, then I suggest adjusting the valves to 0.006"
Peace,
