    Murray Lawn Tractor won't start
    It started yesterday and now today it won't. Changed the spark plug & air filter. When the filter is off... it starts but starts blowing fuel out of the bottom of the air filter housing. When I turn the throttle to turtle and crank it slowing raising the speed it tries to start but won't. A puff of white smioke comes out of the exhaust

Re:Murray lawn tractor with 12.5 hp B&S . [ 3 Answers ]

Starter motor spins but does not engage with the flywheel. The engine does not turn over and the starter just keeps on "singing"anyway. Has a new solenoid and new ignition switch so far, Battery shows 12 volts but may not be delivering the necessary cranking amps to crank over ?
