Ok so, I have put more time and effort into this mower than I want to admit.
A few months ago I had a Neighbor come over to mow my lawn. He called and told me he could not get it started.
when I got home I went to start it and I got clicking like the battery was dead so I got a new battery. When I went to turn it over after putting the new battery in got a burning rubber smell and it sounded like the started was seized.
I replaced the starter. When I did that the starter would go up to the fly wheel to turn over but the flywheel would not turn over. I then read that the fly wheel some time slips and you will have to turn it a bit to get it set. I did that and then went to turn over the engine. This time the flywheel on the engine spun with starter but the engine does not turn over.
I then replaced the solenoid. Hoping that would change something, It continues to do the same thing.
I then shot in the dark changed the spark plug, nothing changed.
While I know that I am not the most handy, I feel like I am missing something.
few other tidbits.
The oil level was super low the last two times I got the mower started (I was having a super difficult time finding the right amount of oil to put in the mower)
The mower has 600 hours on it and has run great until now.
the mower engine is a Briggs and Stratton gold intek 22hp.
Finally, I got a tip saying I should try to replace the flywheel pin.
I don’t know but any help would help!
