Several issues here. Troy Bilt Mower sat for five years. Took plug out and cleaned. Pulled carb which was filthy and cleaned. Primed it up, and is started and ran like new. Stopped and started it about ten times over a 3 hour period.
Next day, had trouble turning it over and upon starting, it was backfiring hard through the carb. Thought maybe had something break loose and stopping up something.
Put a new carb and fuel shut off seloind on it.
Now it will not even turn over other than just a rotation at a time but will not pick up fast enough to start.
I checked compression on it and it held at 120 pounds for eight hours. Has a new battery. Getting 12.5 volts at battery and selanoid. Cleaned all contacts, magnets on flywheel, etc...
Hooked a charger directly to starter to jump it. Same thing. Will rotate but only one stroke at a time, and not enough to spin the flywheel. Any input or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks
