Ok, I have a craftsman riding mower, model 917.258523. It ran fine a week ago. I had to replace the flywheel because the plastic one that came on the motor started cracking and messing up the starter gear. I replaced the flywheel and now when I turn the key the motor turns over a full turn and then stops. If I hold the key it will continue to make a full turn and stop. the motor pauses for about 5 seconds then rotates again. I can spin the motor both ways by hand fine. I checked the spark plug and there is plenty of spark. I also thought it might have been the battery but used jumper cables and hooked it up to my car and it did the same thing. I checked the key on the crankshaft and it is still entaced. What am I missing or what can I try. Thanks
