The first step in troubleshooting a lawn mower starter is to see if the starter pulls out and doesn#39;t go back in, meaning that the spring has ...

broken cord at the pulley, [over strenth pulling caused], replace it back into position, now, little tension after rewound back, but after pull it out with little tension, starter did not do anyting, and the cord lost tension completely. :( thanks for your help.

usually this means that either the clutch has siezed. Sometimes you can remove the top cover and spray the insides with WD40 to free it up.

If not, try a local small engine repair shop before you go to one of the bigger garden centers. The local shops tend to be a little cheaper and give better quality service.

Okay well I read on many sites and on here how to test a starter on a driving lawn mower, Well I did that just not with my car, I used the lawn mower battery hooked the jumper cables up to that (no I did not hook it up reverse I'm not an idiot) and with the other end I hooked up the - (black) cable to the engine block and the + (red) cable I tapped the starter bolt with, well sparks shot every where every time I tryed this I don't know what that could mean, it was a test to see if the starter would spin but it didn't do anything. Am I doing the test wrong? Or is there something wrong with my starter? What do you think is wrong?
Yes it was engaged but it didnt engage when I did this test I guess it was always like this, It was aligned with the flywheel, is it supposed to retract downwards? What is my problem here?

The easiest way to test the starter is remove it from the engine. Clamp it lightly in a vice or get someone to hold it down on a work bench. Clamp the neg (black) to the starter housing. Where it bolts to the engine is good. Then firmly touch the hot (red) cable to the big stud on the starter. The one where the big wire goes when it's on the engine.

The starter motor should turn without the bendix kicking out.

You will get some sparks, but not a lot. If you get a lot of sparks, there is a short inside the starter.
