In this video we will be fixing a riding lawn mower that has sat all winter and will not start. How to start a riding lawn mower. Some of my favorite tips for starting a lawn mower that won't start. Learn how to tap the fuel solenoid and spray starter fluid into carburetor lawn mower. Where to spray starter fluid on a lawn mower. We will be using starter fluid on a riding lawn mower. The motor cranks but it does not start. The mower is a Toro Timecutter Zero Turn mower with a Kohler Courage engine but these tricks can apply to most riding lawn mowers. The first trick I use to get a mower to start is lightly tapping on the fuel solenoid, which is located right under the carburetor. The fuel solenoid is an electronic fuel shutoff switch and it can get gummed up or stuck if it has sat for a long period of time or is simply wearing out. Tapping on it while cranking the motor helps loosen the deposits inside of it and usually will allow it to open up and let the fuel flow. If this tip does not work you can also use starting fluid to help get the mower to start. Remove the air filter and spray a small amount of starting fluid in the air intake where the carburator is attached. Choke and try to start the riding lawn mower again. Hopefully these two simple tricks will solve you're problem of a no start mower and you will be back to mowing your yard in no time! This can also work on a Poulan, Cub Cadet, Husqvarna, or Craftsman lawn mower that doesnt start.

Just give it a little tappy tap! That’s all it took. You saved me time and money. Much appreciated!!
People like you sir make the world go round. Seriously thank you.
Just getting into a lawn business with about 20 lawns and ive had one of these sitting for a long time in the garage because it was over kill for my lawn and i used small push mower instead, gonna get it figured out and use it finally for its intended purpose.
Awesome! Best of luck to you and your new business!!
@@Z23go yes sir and you too, keep pumping out the awesome content!❤️🤝🏻
Great video and fixed the problem...saved me time and money...simply took the end of my screw driver...tapped the pump housing and that was all it took to free up the valve...AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!!...Thank you!!!!
Well ill be damned.....I been at it for 2 hours and finally gave it a little tappy tap and it started right up! Thank you sir!
You're welcome! It's crazy how often it works.
I did the same a few days ago after watching this video, and it also worked!
Thank you sir!!! Mines was the fuel solenoid as well. Unfortunately i had to grind down 1/2 wrench to remove it, clean the pin to make sure it goes up and down freely, installed it back and it fired right up! You are the man!!
Awesome!! You're welcome!!! Sorry about having to grind down the wrench. I had to use an off brand one that was thinner, where had the same problem. Glad you got it running!!
Spot on about "Bop It" - that gave me a good chuckle!
This worked great on a simplicity riding lawnmower……thank you!!!
Worked first time- Saved me a trip and Money!!! (Fuel solenoid )
Oh great to hear!! A lawnmower mechanic showed me this trick several years ago and it has saved me a lot of trips and money too!! 😀
Rodeo in Weatherford this weekend. Let’s go! Love the video.
Hi Natasha!! Oh, that does sound fun but I already have plans this weekend. Hope you guys have a good time! Thanks for watching the video!
Thank you for posting this. It saved me a lot of time and stress.
You're welcome!!
Thanks for the information worked like a charm!
I had to sign in just comment on this and I will be damned it did the trick on my 30 year old Deere JE75!!! Fired right up with the electric start too!! Thanks so much for sharing this. I can’t wait to cut some grass thank you for your awesome and handy knowledge 😄
Thank you so much for signing in and leaving the comment. Great to hear you got it running!!
Extremely helpful video, excellent instructions, thank u
Thank you so much. Glad it helped!!
I really appreciate this video. Tapping the fuel solenoid fixed my problem on my Torro zero turn.
Thank you! Great to hear it worked for you. It is my go to trick I use on my Torro.
Thanks
This video helped me out 👍👍
Thank you sir for this practical data in a nut shell. SUBSCRIBED

Awesome! Great to hear!
First step worked for me! Many thanks!
Great to hear! Thank you for the feedback!
2nd tip worked for me. Thanks!

This worked for me. Thanks a lot!
You're welcome!
I cant believe its not butter!! That worked thanks dude👍🏿💪🏿
You're Welcome!!
O M F G!!!!! Dude i watched your 2 min video and tried this as my first troubleshooting attempt and it worked perfectly for my problem!! I turned it over for 10 mins solid trying different things and no go. I tapped that little silenoid bowl thing a couple times and it started right up!!! Great Video, Nice Instructions, Perfect Job. Thanks bro! Here's a like and a sub.
Awesome to hear you got it started!! Thank you so much for the like and sub!!!
Thank you. Tapping the carburetor worked
Awesome! Glad it worked.
Thanks! One spray of starting fluid got mine going.
Welcome!
Great video fixed my problem
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
You are precious. ❤
I'll be dmd if that little tap didn't do the trick😂 ...trying over 4 hours then I found this😂😂😂...thanks for that tip! I'd have never imagined it was that😅
Came here to make the exact same comment. I was a little over 3 hrs into troubleshooting and about to start taking things even more apart when I found this video. A few light taps on the solenoid and we were back up and running. Lifesaver and earned a well deserved sub from me.
Thank you for subscribing! I appreciate that and glad it worked for you.
Thank you!
Great video! That’s work for me
Thank you! Great to hear it worked for you!
Wow, number one worked !
Helpful video. By the way, a stuck fuel solenoid is easy to diagnose. For my John Deere L118 mower, when my engine key turns the front lights on, I hear a click from the fuel solenoid when my ear is less than 6 inches away (to distinguish the click from another solenoid near the battery). A stuck fuel solenoid won't give that clicking sound (similar to relay clicking).
Thank you Tim Guy. Great tip! I'll try that one myself next time.
Excellent. Thanks
You're welcome. Thank you for the feedback.
Thank you so much this actually worked
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!!
I’m impressed
I was seeking any help to start my cub cadet with briggs and stratton. Tapped while cranking worked like a charm. I don’t know much about small engines, it’s not my field. You’re video helped me out greatly today! Thank you!
You are so welcome! So glad it helped! 😊
It worked for me thank you….
Good deal!
Thank you!!!!!
You're welcome!!
Thanks man
You're welcome. Thank you for watching.
Just fixed a problem with my cadet zero turn..
zt1 50 .. I was cutting and it just stopped ... Would not start at all but it would crank!!
After new plugs , fuel filter, cleaned air filter.. still no fix ..
I found out that the spring on the carb choke lever must have got pulled of when I backed into some small trees..
I replaced the spring and it is back to normal!
Hope this helps !
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
You're welcome!!
The starting Fluid trick worked for me .... I just had my Exmark Zero turn service. Shouldn't be having this issue. A phone call later, the tech says he thinks that the engine is flooding ... but it started with the Starting Fluid. I don't know what to think..... but I'm reporting what worked.
Awesome
Took one tap on the solenoid and it started right up. Like magic
Awesome!
This is really nice, lets see if it works :P
Thank you Zaio, hope it worked for you!
Any tips on how to fix a yard machine not starting but cranking
I added bad gas to a 1/4 of a tank of good gas. (Bought gas after a heavy rain in Texas) I drained the gas tank and replaced with fresh fuel. I also added Sta-bil fuel to it. Will not start. My 2018 Troy-Bilt (Horse) riding mower needs to have the brake depressed when you try to start it. I live alone and have no one to sit on the mower and do this while I tap the Carb and spray the carb cleaner in it. What now? How were you able to do that without depressing the brake? Any information is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your video. 😆😆😊😊
Hi
I have a question, how will you know if the carburettor is faulty.
I have old Craftsman DYS4500, not sure of what year, maybe late 1990s, as I bought it Spring 2023 from hay farmer down the road. On my fourth time to mow my 2 acre yard, just as I finished all mowing the engine shut off and has never re-started. Tractor Forum folks think it must be the Timing is off do the sheared key between crankshaft and flywheel. Well, I can imagine this could be problem but that would incur if I had hit something with blades engaged and suddenly shut engine down. I think??? It has good spark both coils, it just will not start even with Starting Fluid sprayed in. Absolute mystery. Please help advise if you have remedy.
Yeps you got it💯✔️
Thank you Big Son's Lawncare!
@@Z23go Absolutely sir💯✔️💪🏽
Would this work on a stand up mower ?? I have a problem with my mower it wants to turn on but it doesn’t turn on
How did you open the carb up? I saw it on the video but did not see what your hands did to accomplish that. Please advise. Thanks 😊😊
Off choke I believe
I have a Hustler Raptor would this work for that as well? It’s a Kohler 7000 engine.
Yes, it should have a similar looking solenoid to tap like in the video, it just may be in a different location. Same for the starting-fluid trick, remove your air filter and do the same steps as the video. Good Luck!
I have cub cadet ltx1050 has no spark
When I turn the key, it doesnt even make any noise. Is the battery just dead?
Do all have a selenoide? Mine is not underneath the carburetor.
There are some that don't have one. If yours has one it will be either on the bottom or side of the carburetor bowl.
❤❤❤
Thank you!!
Unless I’m overlooking it...the link you reference to the additional video (level 2) isn’t visible while the video runs.
Though it was the next video to play in the “auto play” section following...at least the initial time I viewed it.
It did that to me too! On my phone browser it is showing no links, but in the app it does. But on the computer it would show the link but the wrong video half the time.
I've deleted the link and then put it back in where hopefully that fixes the glitch. Thanks for letting me know!!
Unless it takes TH-cam awhile to update changes... the missing video link still persists when viewed on an iPhone.
I’m assuming all the dandelions have been put on notice that their days are numbered...😉
Hmm, I might need to borrow someone's iPhone to figure this out. Are you watching it on your phone's internet browser or the TH-cam app?
The dandelions have not been notified yet... harder to sneak up on them if they know you're coming. 🥷😉
Phone internet browser
I did some experimenting and research and it looks like the links to the videos do not show on phone internet browsers (iPhone and Android), must be a TH-cam thing. They do show on the TH-cam app if you would like to try it OR I left the video link in the description above as well. Hope that helps! :)
Did both, even changed the fuel solenoid, changed spark plug. And still no start.
I never post, but taping the solenoid worked. Thank, I was starting to feel irritated.
You're welcome! Thanks for the post.
Starting fluid is great but doesn’t solve underlying issue
If it starts with the engine starter, what is the long term fix?
Are you having to use the engine starter every time you start it? If you use it occasionally it's fine but if you do it every time, then probably need to dig down to what is causing it not to start...Clogged fuel filter or carburetor needs cleaned are two possible problems.
@@Z23goso I figured out my issue after I posted this. My initial issue was the little spring loaded piece of the carberatur getting stuck. But I spent so much time diagnosing the issue that I killed my battery. Which was weird because my volt meter read at 12.3 volts.
Glad you was able to figure it out! Hopefully was just a battery recharge and not have to replace it. Happy Mowing!
I wanna try this on my John Deere d105 but idk how u are starting it while not sitting on the seat. Mine won't start unless their is someone sitting on it and it's just me here
Make sure it is in Park or Neutral and the blades are turned off and then see if it will start with no one on the seat. If that doesn't work you could set something heavy on the seat (flower pot). ONLY do this if it for sure is in park with blades off. If it doesn't look safe to you then I recommend waiting for help.
I am not going gas into the carburetor why
my craftsman mower suddenly dies wont start spark is ok im not sure about fuel but it suddenly died like i stooped the engine anyone knows?
So mine doesn’t even get past the starter clicking
Hey there, same here 😢
I had same problem. Checked everything. Took me 2 hours.nothing worked. Then I Checked fuse. Blown fuse. So check your fuse before anything
Great tip. Thanks for sharing.
My won’t go up stay down, I think I need new solenoid.
Where did my comment go??
I found your comment. :)
