The reasons why mower is not moving forward or reverse is that the battery is dead, or due to clogged fuel line. Additionally, malfunctioning transmission, or a broken drive belt, also a faulty spark plug, even when friction wheel isn`t in contact with the friction plate, or damaged Tires.
If your riding lawn mower won`t move, the problem could be a broken ground drive belt. If the riding mower is slow and sluggish, the ground drive belt could be so worn that it slips.
On most larger commercial engines (27 hp and up). The 25 amp main fuse is located about 3” from the starter on the engine. On smaller commercial and light duty commercial mowers, the 25 amp main fuse is located just behind the battery connected to the starter solinoid.
Failure of any mechanical component, a broken hose, or clogged filter will cause tractor hydrostatic transmission problems. But the most common issue will be the oil itself. In the transmission section of your operator`s manual, you`ll find a section that covers oil viscosity.

YARD MACHINE MOWER NOT A YEAR OLD YET AND IT CRUDDIES UP EACH NEW SPARK PLUG AND SMOKES, NOT RUNNING WELL. ITS RUNS REAL FAST AND THEN REAL SLOW, SPUTTERS. I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT AIR FILTER CLEAN AND OIL CHANGED. WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM? MY SON THINKS ITS THE RINGS AND SAID I SHOULD TAKE IT BACK TO HOME DEPOT BUT I’VE HAD IT FOR 11 MONTHS. WHAT SHOULD i do??
ANSWER : Return the mower if possible for warranty repair or call MTD with the issue. MTD mowers typically are good quality and should run like new for a long time with proper care. Depot may give you a 1-800 number instead of customer service so before you load up the mower talk to them. It does sound like a bad valve seat or rings either one is not typical wear and tear.

Mower won’t start with key
ANSWER : You have one of three things going on, either your battery is is low, in which caes you shouls have it tested to ensure there is not a dead cell. or you have a bad ground, remove the starter and clean all mating surfaces with a wire brush then reinstall if this doesnt help ensure that your battery is completly charged then try using a jumper wire from the battery to the starter if the starter does engage at this point then the solenoid is bad and needs to be replaced.

Briggs stratton model 100000 sart problem ? – Briggs & Stratton Lawn-Boy Insight Series 21-Inch 190cc 650 Series Gas Powered Engine Variable Speed Self-Propelled Lawn Mower
ANSWER : If you are having problems starting your mower you should check 3 things, air, fuel and spark.Fuel: check to make sure you are full of good quality fuel, try to start the engine several times then take out the spark plug and it should look wet. If its not wet then you aren’t getting fuel into the engine.Air: remove and clean the air filter with clean gasoline if its made of foam. If its made of paper then you should buy a new one from a local auto parts or hardware store.Spark: disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and hold the wire close to the engine block. Try to start the engine and watch for a spark to jump between the end of the wire and the engine block. If it doesn’t then either the wire is bad or the ignition coil is bad.Reply to this solution when you find the problem and I can tell you how to solve it.
