I've got a 2001 Craftsman LT1000 with the B & S 16.5 hp engine. When I bought this mower in May, 2013, the previous owner had just put a new starter in it. Within a few weeks after I bought it the engine started to either turn very slowly & suddenly speed up & start or "clunk" like the starters not turning the engine. After several tries it would start. It only did it a few times until I parked it for the winter. This year it's gradually gotten worse to the point where it won't start some of the time, only "clunk" like a bad starter. A couple days ago I pulled the starter & battery ( 2 yr. old diehard) & took them to Napa. They both came out as being good. I then replaced the solenoid & it still makes no difference. It either turns very slowly & suddenly speeds up or "clunks" like a bad starter. Where do I go from here?:confused3:
