    1985 41" Snapper riding mower
    Just tuned up the old snapper for the summer.Changed the oil and spark plug,new blades, new battery patched up a rust spot and replaced the starter. This thing has never run better until I ran over a large runner that we put on the deck, my bad. The mower stopped running as soon as it picked up the runner so I didn't even have time to disengage the blades. I checked out the mower afterwords and everything seemed fine. But when I tried to restart the mower, nothing happened. My rope on the mower broke several years ago so I rely solely on the electric starter. I connected my portable power pack and still nothing. I checked the starter switch with my test light and it does work and there is power to the starter. I'm stumped at this point and was looking for some help.

    Those briggs starters bind up, try rotating engine from underneath to dislodge the gear.
