Hello:
Quite the newbie and not at all a ridingMower efficienado like many on this site...in fact can't even play along with most of these posts. Long and short of it is this:
I am moving shortly and got my Craftsman LT2000 up on eBay cause I need the cash. Anyway, when I went to start the darn thing, it didn't turn over. I was however able to jump start it easily with my car battery. I figured I needed a new battery and bought one (albeit slightly less power than original) but the darn thing just clicks now...click click click. Now for the question:
Would this be the starter, solenoid etc? i was hoping that with the clues I provided (ie starts right up when attatched to the car) that someone would be able to troubleshoot a bit for me...at least narrow down the field a little bit. I have a guy from Sears coming out in a few weeks, and it will cost me about 100 bucks just for him to take a look. Anyway, there's nothing I'd like more for Fathers Day than to have someone hook me up so i can call Sears and cancel the appointment : )))
thank you!!!!!!!
