Advice on Mountfield 1436S mower
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 |

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? -- Pete C London UK |

Does it crank but no fire, or no cranking? Do the lights go out (or dim considerably) when you try to crank? This could indicate a bad/discharged battery or the poor connections others mentioned. I always hang a little trickle charger on my lawn tractor battery the day before I want to fire it up in the spring, as a kindness.
