Frequently Asked Questions
Solving a riding mower won't start issue depends on what exactly happens when you turn the key.
- Nothing happens when you turn the key.
- The starter solenoid clicks when you turn the key but nothing else happens.
- The engine cranks (turns over) but won’t start.
Each of these scenarios can be caused by distinct failure, and understanding them is key to getting your mower back in action.
Nothing Happens When You Turn the Key
A dead battery or electric system failure can cause this symptom. This DIY riding mower troubleshooting video provides expert advice to help you get your mower started.
The Riding Mower Clicks but Doesn’t Crank
When you hear a click as you turn the key, a weak battery, bad starter solenoid, faulty wiring, failed starter motor or a seized engine could be the cause. This DIY troubleshooting will help you figure out what to fix.
The Engine Cranks but won't Start
When the engine spins but won't start as you turn the key, the engine is missing one of its key requirements for starting—fuel, compression or spark. Watch this DIY troubleshooting video for tips to get the engine started.
If you're unable to find and fix the starting problem on your own, schedule service and we'll send a technician to your home to get your riding mower going again.
First, connect one end of the red jumper cable to the positive terminal on the mower battery. Connect the other end of the red cable to the vehicle's positive battery terminal. Don't let the other end of the red cable touch any metal or you'll see a lot of sparks and could damage the good battery. Next, connect the black jumper cable to the vehicle's negative battery terminal. Then connect the other end of the black jumper cable to the metal mower frame away from the fuel tank and battery. Turn the ignition key and start the mower engine. Now disconnect the jumper cables— in the right order. Disconnect the black cable from the mower frame first and then disconnect the black cable from the vehicle's battery. Next, disconnect the red cable from the vehicle's battery and then disconnect the red cable from the mower's battery.
Here's a video that shows you how to safely jump start your riding mower using the above procedure:
Give your riding mower a good cleaning before and after each use, replace old fuel, change the oil and oil filter annually, clean or replace the air filter, change the spark plugs, and check the tires and mower deck regularly.
Schedule a yearly professional riding mower tune-up to keep your machine running smoothly and lasting longer.
Riding mower repair costs vary depending on the type of failure and whether you need a professional to complete the repair.
Parts for a riding mower average around $75 but can run more than $200. If you can diagnose the problem yourself and replace the part on your own, the repair cost can be fairly low.
Professional repairs typically cost between $150 and $600 depending on the type of failure.
To get an accurate cost of a professional repair, schedule service and we'll send a riding mower repair technician to your home to analyze the problem and give you an accurate price to fix the failure.
