I am at real loss with this,
Troy-Built
Model Number: 12AN693G118
We got this mower for free from my husbands boss, he said it worked fine, just needed to be jumped to start because the battery was shot.
OK, We replaced the battery, fuel lines, cleaned the carb, new belts and blades, full tune up. Started up last year and mowed the lawn 3 times tops.
This year: Go to start the mower, and it cranks once about 1/2 way then stops. So far this year we've replaced the ignition switch, fuel line again, starter and solenoid. We have to jump it just for it to even move, but when we do jump it at first it will crank a few times and sometimes start, but as soon as we let go of the key it dies, try it again and it just spins, try it again and it goes back to cranking ab 1/2 way then stops.
Seems to only fire up when we spray starter fluid into the carb.
When it spins halfway and stops it smokes out the carb a bit and makes a "bloop" sound, sometimes spraying the fluid back up out of the carb.
Anybody have any thoughts?
