Hello again all. I have a Murray 1996 and 42828x8B, with 16hp Tecumseh engine. Mower has been working great all season. This weekend it started up and then after about short time stopped immediately. No slow sputter type but hard and fast. After that I got no crank at all. Went through the normal switch check and battery and found solenoid fuse and solenoid toast. Jumped and found the starter now would crank but would not spin the flywheel.
Myself questions are should the flywheel turn? Mine is not moving at all. Also the ignition coil looks like it is tight against the flywheel is that normal? Any ideas where to go from here? What are my next steps? Is engine seized? Or am I missing something with troubleshooting why the flywheel won't turn or move at all.
Thanks.
