I just picked this lawnmower up for a very good price. The motor blew on my old mower and I do not have one to mow the grass yet so I need this thing fixed ASAP. It is a Scotts brand made by John Deere. It has a 20hp Briggs and Stratton motor. It is cranking over but will not fire up. I checked for spark and I have spark on one cylinder but not the other. I believe its the coil but I know that this thing has some safety switches and I am not sure if that has anything to do with it because I have noticed that it will not crank unless I push down on the brake real hard and sometimes I have to sit on the seat right. If there is anyone that has experience with this any help would be greatly appreciated. Also if it is the coil does anyone know where I can get one for a good price? Thank You
