Stiga EL63 Ride on doesnt start on key

Hi once again

 

You guys have already solved one query so here's another one for you. My above mower has never started on the key (only pull start) since I bought it and was wondering if this is an easy fix. When I turn the key you can hear a whirring noise but nothing else. What do I need to do.

 

Once again thank you in advance

Sounds like the starter is not engaging with the fly wheel teeth and just spinning . Maybe a little TLC on the bendix ?

Is the battery fully charged? If so pop the starter off and have it checked, can't remember if it's a plastic gear that strips on them?

Hi

 

Thanks for your replies.

 

I borrowed a friends multi-metre and there is power on the key switch and power on out part of the starter, however there is no power going into the starter so I am going to get a new one and hopefully this will solve the problem.

 

Thanks once again
