I have a 2000 that i bought in 2008 to mow my 5 acres . it was a learning experience, but I can move faster with a riding mower.. so haven't used it much..
once or twice a summer, start, move to a new location, mow where it was.. repeat.
this year it won't turn over.. battery freshly charged. like its stuck in gear. started motor tries to turn.. nothing..
on a car, I would pull the plugs, and maybe squirt some tranny fluid in, thinking the rings are seized.
I don't remember where the compression release lever is.. will have to go check that.
pto shaft turns, and both engine and tranny oil look clean, no signs of water.
the generator can be turned under the belt.
there is a hard thunk, when the starter tries to turn.
air cleaner was new and looks good..
ideas welcomed
