    Lawn mower won
    My Craftsman lawn tractor started about 6 times this spring. About a week ago, I stopped to refuel and it wouldn't start again. Jumping it from the car started it right up. The battery is only 2 months old. When I returned it, they said it was discharged, re charged it but it still won't start the engine. If it starts with a jump, what could be the problem other than the battery?

    Hi,
    Key switch or the solenoid, or both. Sounds as if you may have a charging system problem as well.
    Peace,
