See YouTube: how to test starting circuit on bmg5425ko?

My sons & I own & maintain our 3 Conquest & 1 Broadmore Simplicity tractors with B&S Vanguard engines. Good to hear you figured it out.

Air up tires to specs.,

Pull dipstick & check for gas in oil sump.

Put a drop of oil on linkages & all moving parts.

I agree with ILENGINE, remove battery, take to auto parts store & kindly ask them to load test battery, let us know how it goes, thanks, Mark

NLA on the rings, a new engine will be your best bet, $ wise & less down time.

Muhammad, Can non-essential posts & replies be wiped from lawnmowerforum.com? thanks, Mark

https://www.simplicitymfg.com/na/en_us/support/manuals/results.productmanuals.html?searchrequested=2690953 page 26 in operators manual shows tractor specs. check tire pressure, clean deck top & underside, sharpen blades & grease spindles.

suggestion; trade your new ariens for new gravely.

Don’t forget using Dielectric Grease on battery posts, terminals, & everything electrical.

I believe the 30 second idle down on the throttle applies here also.

Yes, check for gasoline in oil on dipstick.
