QuestionLast summer I bought the mower. Early on last summer the mower was running fine then just stopped and would not restart or even turn over. I followed the battery cables down and found a 20 amp fuse. I pulled it out and it was burnt out. I replace with a new one and it worked fine all summer.
Tried today to start(4 months later), and it started and ran for a few minutes then blew the same fuse. I replaced it 3 times with same result. I am handy but not a mechanic, what can you suggest.
Thanks in advance!
AnswerHello Chad:
>>From your Description it Sounds like the Stator is Bad and Requires Replacing, there is a Bad Wire that is Touching Ground at Times or the Electric PTO (if applicable) is Bad and Requires Adjusting or Replacing.
>>Check the Stator/Charging Coils.
>>For Testing the Electrical (Charging) System on Mowers you can Use this Site Addy; http://engines.myfaqcenter.com/Answer.aspx?p_faqid=3438 and Use the Link for AC Volts/DC Amps Meter Setting Chart. This is for Briggs Engines and Works Well for Kohler, JD, Kawasaki, Tecumseh and Other Engine OEMs.
>>Send me the Model and Type or Spec Numbers Off the Engine and the Unit/Mower Model Numbers, Please. With these I can Locate the Proper Manual and Better Assist you. The Engine Model Numbers May be Stamped Into the Blower Housing (metal engine cover) Above the Spark Plug. The Unit/Mower Model Numbers are Usually Located Under the Seat on a Sticker on the Body of the Mower.

Good Luck
