Hi Chris!
Dose the mower start and run? And if so,is it just not charging the battery?
Let me know & we will go form there!

Answer Hi, If the mower starts with starting fluid, What makes you think that it is somthing with the charging system?
It sound like a fuel problem! Have you checked the fuel filter?? If the filter is ok then there is somthing in the carb that is obstructing the fuel! Alot of time there is some debris in the port were the neddle jet is. try cleaning the carb and see what happens.
