    Engine spins but won't start
    I have a sears engine that made a noise like a broken cable when I tried to disengage the blades. I tried to restart the engine alone and it just spins. I checked for fuel to it and tried a new spark plug. It still just spins until the battery goes dead. Is this more a spark issue or maybe the overrunning clutch has broken? An interlock somewhere? I notice the belt to the blades seems very loose but not binding anything up.

    Thank you

    Did the engine die when you heard the noise? Have you checked the cable?
