    Craftsmen riding mower problems
    Hi,
    My Craftsmen riding mower won't start in cool weather. It acts like the battery is weak or something is draining the power out of it. Even when I try jumping it a charger or my car.
    But the funny thing is, It starts just fine when the temperature is above 75 or 80 degrees.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    How much bluish white corrosion do you have on the battery posts?
    Peace,

    None. I replaced the battery last spring trying to fix the problem.
    I had the starter and selenoid checked out also and they said they were good.
