Repairs Flywheel not engaging

[tkerriga]

I have a EZTrak Z225. Battery is fully charged, fuel filter changed, oil changed. My son was taking it out of backyard. It started fine, ran for about 20 yards and he said he heard a pop and it stopped. Haven't been able to get it started since. It seems to engage properly but to both of us it doesn't feel like it is catching properly. I'm thinking it must be the flywheel. Oh, i changed the spark plug as well. Do you guys think i'm in the right area in my thinking? If so can you tell me if changing the flywheel something i need to take it in for or it is something i should be able to do on my own?

Thanks,

Tim

I don't think you are on the right track. If the flywheel is turning with the starter it is working properly. Can you give us the model number of both the unit and the engine. Is there a possibility that your son hit something? Just before it stopped?
