    Craftsman lawn tractor turns over but won't start?
    18 HP Craftsman 1000 turns over very slowly but won't start. Took the plug out and it turns over normal speed, so the starter seems fine. No visible spark on the plug when out of the engine - magneto/coil problem?

Craftsman lawn tractor won't start, loud bang [ 5 Answers ]

It was working fine, then stalled, and when I tried to restart it, a loud bang was all that would happen. The motor seems to be turning over, but won't start, just horrible bang. The first bang blew the plug wire off, so I put it back on, and still, just turns over and BANG:eek:
