Hi,
My 12 year old rider mower, 18.5HP, 42" will not crank . The mower kind of chugged a bit and then died on a hill. Would not start. The engine seemed frozen and I freed it up. But then all everything did was spin. I replaced the solenoid and the starter gear and got a new battery. It seems like the starter gear raises up the shaft but not enough to engage the flywheel. Is the clutch drive supposed to raise up some also?
Would really appreciate some help.
Thanks.
