Craftsman T240 starting issue

[StarTech]

Mower is a month old. Valves should not need to be adjusted at this age.

IF the mower is a new mower and it is only a month then working on it yourself can void the warranty. Suggest letting the dealer handle the problem.

If you can't keep a month old mower running return it. Maybe "try" a pair of scissors?

Then the problem is the battery. Probably an internal short and it's completely dead.

Put in a new battery and does the same thing.

They could not figure the problem out.

Have you verified the condition of the new battery with a load tester?

If you try to start without the jumper, what does it do. Try to crank but either slow, turns and stops, or does nothing.

I was respectful till you entered. You are the one that’s not respectful. Enjoy your day. You did not even try to help. Pathetic

See post #3. Add short term memory loss to list.

They could not figure the problem out.

If it starts with a jump using the same wires that are hooked to the battery then logically it follows that the wiring is functional. That leaves the battery as the only variable that could be defective. It's not impossible that a new battery is defective.

Also, if the dealer can't figure out how to fix a new mower that's under warranty then they need to replace it with one that works.

Its not a decompression issue.

What confirmed this condition please?

What confirmed this condition please?

Because I know it’s not a decompression issue. Have had that on others.
