I thought I was having starter problems, but turned out the flywheel was not working properly. The magnets attached to it broke off and I replaced it ( or my repair guy did)
With a used flywheel. That worked for a few mowing's, then more magnets broke off that one. So now I have spent $300 and back to square one with an unusable mower. Any suggestions out there? Ron

Hi,
I would suggest that the first flywheel damaged the stator and it is knocking the magnets loose.
