Thank you sooo much!! You would not believe how many videos I have been looking at to figure out my issue. Mower cranks, starter turns, but ride on will not start. Dodgy PTO switch seemingly getting in the way of it all working. Machine non-responsive for couple months, fixed by pulling PTO up and knocking it closed with a hard whack. Starts immediately. 👍🙏

Nice video to learn from I know I had a Riding lawn mower few weeks back would not do nothing when you hit the key . checked every safety switch on it. Come to find out that switch that plugs in the hood lights the black wire was broken. Hood was shut on it I guess. Thanks for the video.

I'm not a mechanic but had my uncle help & I had a loose nut to the stator or something that fixed my mower. So must've vibrated loose

I have an old toro proline and I have been told it has an ignitor? It doesn’t have a starter, I have to pull start it and it seems to not have spark. It worked the night before and the next day, nothing?

I have an issue with a chainsaw and I am fresh out of options. Spark was intermittent so I cleaned the coil contacts. I now have good spark and I cleaned the carburetor, but the part that bewilders me is I usually spray starter fluid in the carb to determine a carb problem but it won't kick even when I spray with starting fluid. There is some scoring on the piston head and wondering if it could be that, but wouldn't it at least kick and stall?

I have a mower that the coil keeps going out on. The coils I’ve gotten are new and match the owners manual part number. What can cause this issue? I never thought to meter the new coil for continuity, can they just be junk from the start? I didn’t hook up the kill wire on the last new coil and it still never sparked. My gap is set correct on both coil and plug. Am I missing something?

I got a 94 ford with spark but the spark is yellow. why? will not run even though the spark plugs fire but has yellow fire, not blue.
