    Murray rider won't start
    Have a 2001 Murray, with a 12hp B&S last year we were mowing and shut it off to get a cold drink when we came back out it would not start, Battery is fully charged yet it does not crank I feel it could be one of three things but could use some advise. The starter safety switch on the seat , the ignition or the starter itself any help would be appreciated

    If you don't even get a clicking sound I think you are going in the right direction, safety switch. Check the seat, blade engagement and clutch pedal switches. That is usually all of them.

    There should also be a switch for mower engagement and neutral (gear) position to cut out the starter. Check both of those first


    Good Luck,
