    Murray riding lawnmower won't start
    I was mowing my lawn and mower was running fine. I shut it off for a moment and when I tried to start it again, I got nothing but a click at the solenoid. It has a brand new battery that has a good charge. Any suggestions? Also, if it is the solenoid, any good sites to find one?

    You can purchase a solenoid at most auto parts houses if nothing else. Expect to pay $8.00 to $14.00 if you do not purchase oem equipment. You could also have a bad ground where the solenoid mounts to the frame. Remove solenoid, clean mounting area, and remount.

Driving along and it died, won't restart. Engine turns over, fire is getting to the spark plug, but won't kick in. Anybody know how to troubleshoot this problem. I hate to take it to the shop, feel like it is a simple problem. It has gas, the plug is new, and has oil. Susan:confused:

Murray Riding Mower won't start [ 2 Answers ]

I have a Murray 18hp Briggs & Stratton Riding Mower that won't start. The battery is good and the mower will crank without the (new) spark plug in, but seems weak. I thought maybe the battery needed a charge so I used a charger in the "start" mode and it still does the same thing. The relay...
