    My 18.5 Rider Troy Bilt Tuffy will turn over but will not hit. I put a new battery, air filter, starter relay, and new spark plug in it. Checked gas going to carb but still will not start.

    Did you try pulling the plug out after some light cranking to see if gas is making it to the top of piston? (is the plug wet or smells like gas?) Second, are all of safety interloacks working, deck clucth disengaged ?
    You can attempt to check for spark by pulling plug and setting on grounded engine metal and trying to start. Do NOT touch plug, you will get shocked.

Troy Bilt Riding Mower [ 2 Answers ]

Our mower won't start. It acts like the battery but it is good. If my husband turns the belt just a little then it will start otherwise it just clicks. Does anyone know what is wrong with it. We bought it used and the lady we bought it from said it was the battery low and it is only a year old.
