Hi All, I was wondering if anyone had some ideas on how to solve my
problem with my mower??
I have a mountfield 1436S tractor mower thats now going into its third
season but the thing wont start!
Last season i returned it to the store where i bought it because the
starter solenoid had went which was fixed and replaced but now that
its out of warranty i thought id try and sort the prob myself.
When i turn the key the lights come on so i know thats there is power
at least, i have tried to isolate all the cut off switches one by one
but so far i have only found 6 different points.
Can anyone offer anymore wisdom??

Many Thanks

Noel

Back to basics. Been stored all winter??
Empty fuel tank and refill with fresh fuel.
Carb may need a strip and clean.......... best left to dealer if you're not
able.
I don't know the Briggs and Stratton engine, so can only generalise. Remove
fuel pipe from carb and check flow.
Charge battery.
Is there a spark at the plug?
