    Deutz Allis Rider will not start
    Ran fine last winter. Won't turn over now. Replaced the ignition, battery, fuel and spark plug. Have confirmed am getting no spark out of the plug. What should I look at next?
    In addition, the engine will not even try to turn over except maybe half the time. The other time I get nothing and it just makes a clicking noise. Are the problems related?

    If the unit set over winter, chances are that mice may have built a nest under the blower housing (top of engine), and could have chewed wires in two. Check under the blower housing for damages.
