RE: Murray Riding Lawnmower Won't Turn Over Post by busybeaver87 (5) | (09/05/2008) Contact my hubby had the same problems, it was the battery, also, at times it still wont start good if he gets off to move anything, so he tired the seat down using bungie cords, no more problems Report Spam or Abuse RE: Murray Riding Lawnmower Won't Turn Over Post By Piwacket (Guest Post) (09/04/2008) Mine does the same thing. I have learned its the battery, take the old battery to WalMart as core & get a new one. Take it home & put it back, keep your warranty information for future needs. You'll be surprised. Like I said my mower does the same thing, don't bother charging, it only costs about $25 for a new one.

I tried charging the battery at 2 amps with no luck. Any other ideas as to what might be wrong? Stacey from Charlotte, NC Answers: RE: Murray Riding Lawnmower Won't Turn Over If the battery is over 2 yrs. old it's probably bad. A 12 volt battery must be charged about 3 days at 2 amps. The battery can be checked at an Auto Supply like O'Reilly's for free. Also a Murray has a 15 amp fuse called an in-line fuse (Buss ATC) that goes in the line from the switch to the solenoid. The starter solenoid could be bad.

Take your battery cables off and clean them with sandpaper or a wire brush. Re-hook them back and try. If your synoid switch is burnt up, it won't turn over or make much of a noise. You can take a wire from the battery to the starter to see if this is your problem. If so, Lowe's or a yard tractor place sells replacements. (09/11/2007) By Crystal RE: Murray Riding Lawnmower Won't Turn Over Clean your battery cables and make sure your deck is raised and the clutch pedal is down with gears in neutral. If this doesn't work, then pull the cover over the gear shift in front of seat and jump across solenoid to see if it will work. If it does, your safety switch is bad or corroded. Either replace it or clean the terminals. Some people cut it out and by pass it all together. (09/15/2007) By J Goss RE: Murray Riding Lawnmower Won't Turn Over You might check your starter. Basically remove it, and sniff. If it is overwhelmingly burned smelling, try to find a repair shop or an OEM replacement. (09/17/2007) By aNon Report Spam or Abuse
