    My Lawn Mower will not start
    I have a riding mower with a Tecumseh OHV125 engine. When I turn the key it tries to start, but barely. I've tried it with a battery jump start machine attached which states there is sufficient charge in the battery. I just replaced the starter and still nothing. Please help, the grass is outgrowing me.

Lawn chief mower won't start [ 3 Answers ]

Have a lawn chief mower that won't start. I think it is the ignition switch and not the connectors behind it.
