Have developed a problem over the last month after destroying a set of blades by hitting a stump and stopping the lawn tractor dead in its tracks.
The mower would backfire when I shut it off. The next day when i would go to start it, it would take along time cranking before starting.
This morning it would not start at all only continually backfire.
I quit trying to start it and have decided to do the following.
I think I my have messed up the flywheel key hitting the stump, I am going to check the key.
Since it needs service I am also going to change the air filter, spark plug, adjust the valves, and check the coil flywheel spacing.
Hope this will fix my problem.
Any further info would be appreciated.
