We have tried everything we can think of. Changed a blown fuse. Checked the starter. Checked the wiring. When we had the battery on a charger it started, but now it won't start when on the charger. The motor turns over but acts like it's sticking and won't do anything. (it did this when we had the charger hooked up directly to the charger). Any ideas???
we have put new spark plugs on. the oil has already been changed.
When a battery is weak, it may not start even on a charger. If the motor turns but does so weakly, then it would seem to be the battery or the starter is dragging. Make sure also, that all the safety switches are oaky. If these go bad, they will also keep the motor from starting.

the float in the carb is sticking, drain the oil, check the air cleaner, pull the plug and clean and the cheap way to fix it is to put a shut off valve in the gas line cost me $7 for the shut off
My riding lawn mower will crank over just fine but it will not run. Last week it was shooting gas everywhere so I replaced the needle and seat. It pressure tested just fine after that so I reinstalled. Gas is no longer filling up the cylinder or leaking. When I try to start it, it doesn't even attempt to run. I checked for spark which is good and I'm also getting good compression. Only thing I can see is it is flooding out after starting attempts. I did inspect the float and it appeared to be just fine. Not sure what else to do.

The lawn mower is an Arien's riding lawn mower with a Briggs and Stratton 8 HP engine in the back. It has an on/off switch near the front with a key. How would I attach a tether kill switch to this mower?
There is a small wire connected to the ignition module that is a ground wire. It goes to the ignition switch. When you turn the key to the off position it grounds the ignition module and kills the engine. So if you use that wire to your tether switch and a wire to ground from the switch it should kill the engine. Not sure how the tether switch works but assume that it holds the circuit open until the "key" is pulled out.
