Experience Born and raised in the midwest. Started tinkering with engines when I was about 14 on my Suzuki RM-80. I began lawn mower repair at a small hardware store. I knew absolutely nothing. I read lots of repair manuals and met an older fellow who taught me many lessons. I continued working on small engines through high school and paid my way through college working on mowers at the same hardware store. Decided to get away from the midwest and mower repair so I joined the Air Force. I repaired air traffic control electronic equipment and ended up in Hawaii where I got a part time job at Small Engine Clinic. I gained a lot of experience from the Small Engine Clinic and had a blast repairing small engines. I then took the Briggs and Stratton Master Service Technician test and earned my MST. I then traveled to Wisconsin where I attended the factory update training seminar and received formal training. I received a scholarship from the Air Force and am currently pursuing another degree.

Hi,
May I suggest to take your problem from the top to the bottom check all terminals first if that does not work disabel one saftey switch at a time even it takes jumpers if all of this does not solve the problem start at the top again and check switches please do not overlook any safety switch or any bad (connectors) in the system. I just recently purchased a electric start snapper it worked perfectly on purchase then click from the starter and guess what after top to bottom twice it turned out to be the starter switch it self a simple $5.00 part so good luck
