Okay,I have a scotts(by john deere)riding lawn mower.It was sitting for about 5 years,and I decided to try to get it going again.I bought a new spark plug and made sure it had spark,and changed the oil.My battery was dead of course and my ignition is shot so i jumpstarted the STARTER with our car.when i jumped it the starter engaged the flywheel but the starter always locks up when the cylinder starts to compress.It turns just fine without the spark plug. I adjusted the valve lash 3 times.And im getting 12v to the starter.I am now taking apart the starter to clean.But i dont know what the problem is.Please Help!
