    Ok , 17.5 BHP castlegarden mower , first go this year and won't start, turning at first but not firing, got a lad to look at it

    Checked battery, solenoid, plugs, changed petrol, and still nothing, looks like engine struggling to turn,

    He is baffled, anyone have any similar experiences

    How did you check the battery?
    I had a truck that took the charge showed full but would only turn over for a few sec before the battery start to die.
    If you have a set of jump leads throw them on and try

    Tried a new battery

    Don't think you can jump a lawnmower, fry the starter

    I often jumped mine, no problems (jonsered /Kohler 15hp)
    Do so at your own risk/disclaimer etc....
