My husband past away last year and now its up to me when I break something to repair it. I live in the country so I can't just go get something repaired. I was mowing I hit a rock it jammed between the blade and the deck It stopped running, I knocked the rock out I don't see anything broke like a belt or anything but it won't start, it won't even turn over its like its dead. HELP

most riders have a safety switch for the deck . so first disconnect the plug wire and look under the hood on most mowers if you look at the arm that ingages the belt below the steering wheel you will find this switch if you hit something hard enough to jam it then u may have relocated this switch .. as I dont know the exact year,make or model i cant tell you exact but as a mower mech. that would be my first place too look .. e mail me if i can help more i will try!!!!

After removing a lawn mower#39;s fuel tank to access the carburetor, the carburetor can be cleaned with a carburetor cleaner or a simple brush ...

I was checking out the blade on my Toro by tipping the lawn mower all the way back on the two back wheels. Bad idea. Then I noticed Oil was coming out of the muffler. Ever since, it hasn't started. What can I do to solve this?

I've had this happen to me countless times before! Do not try and start the mower. Leave it set for awhile to let any excess oil run back into the oil sump, then take out spark plug. Crank or pull engine over a few times and watch for any oil coming from spark plug hole. Also you may want to take off the muffler and do the same, checking for oil out the exhaust opening. Blow excess oil from muffler then re-install. Next, take and remove air filter element and wash in mild dish soap and water, alow to air dry completely before re-assembly. Install new "hotter" range spark plug (example if mower came originally with Champion CJ8 plug, install a LM19 or equivelent, top up oil level in engine and everything should work just fine!! Happy mowing!!

shut it off to remove the jumper it would not turn over. I noticed the fuse was blown and replaced it but it still did not turn over. I jumped the seat and clutch switches and it still did not turn over. I then jumped the solenoid and the engine did turn over. I assume the problem is either in the ignition or solenoid but i do not know how to troubleshoot these parts. I am looking for some help to determine what I need to do to get the mower to turn over again. Thanks.

its the starter solenoid replace it
any time you can jump the starter solenoid and it starts that will tell you the solenoid is bad
