Question About Poulan Lawn Mower CO18H42STA
Starting problem on Poulan rider!...

New battery, starter, tried different starter switches and solenoids. I also jumped the safety switches and the engine will not turn fast enough to start. Turns until it compression and stops. I can use any advice available!

0 Sounds like there could be problems in the wiring. Have you checked your wiring connections for corrosion and tightness?Check your sparkplugs. If they aren't firing, your piston isn't going to go anywhere.

0 Cleaned all connections and also checked the extra ground that I added. There should be no reason for it to react as if the battery is dead! Tried different battery cables, solenoids, starters and key switches. It is a very common problem with these units but what is it?
