    Montgomery Wards Riding mower won't start
    I started my mower 2 days ago, ran it around the yard for a short time then shut it off. I went to re-start it and was just cranking and cranking wouldn't start. I pulled the spark plugs and replaced them, now it only seems to crank over once and then nothing. I pulled the plugs and seem to have spark. I checked the voltage to everything and I have voltage. Pulled the plugs and without the plugs in, the engine turns over fine. Why won't it turn over right with the plugs in?
