Hello everyone, I’am having issues getting my 2004 model Craftsman lawn tractor

Model # 917.273351
Serial # 050704D013601

Briggs & Stratton
Model. Type. Code
31C707 0230E1 040428ZD

It hasn’t been started in a couple years. I just replaced the Battery, starter solenoid, and starter. When I turn the key it initially sounded like it wanted to start with the flywheel making about 3/4 of a revolution. However every subsequent turn of the ignition after that results in a rapid fire sounded clicking.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again

Your symptoms sound like a bad connection at the battery or either end of the ground wire. Also with that engine it is prone to valves getting out of adjustment and broken ACR on the camshaft which can also cause your symptoms of not fully cranking over.
