    Why does my lawn tractor chug when I start it?
    Husqvarna YTH 150 sounds like it is chugging on cold starts, and after refueling after its run out of fuel. It only does it for maybe a minute, then it idles fine at high throttle, what can be causing this.

Lawn Tractor won't start [ 1 Answers ]

When I try to start my lawn tractor it won't turn over. It makes a noise from the engine that sounds like when you try to start a car and it's already running. I have recently changed the spark plugs, battery, air filter, etc. It ran fine after that and just stopped and wouldn't start again.
