my lawnmower want start?

Question

i've put a new battery in it thinkin that would get it to turn over(start) but it does nothing. do riding lawnmowers have fuses?

i checked the fuse and it wasn't blown and my mower doesn't have a blade belt on it because the old one broke, could that have anything to do with the mower not turning over?

Answer 1

Yup.

It's more likely however that the cutout switch on the clutch/brake pedal is faulty, or the blade engage handle is not back far enough to engage that switch.
Or, the seat switch is bad.

Answer 2

First check to make sure you have ignition spark present using a spark tester like this one: Also spray some "quick start" starting fluid into the air filter intake to the carburetor to see if it starts and runs at least briefly. You may have a safety cut-off switch that's not being activated, so make sure the battery voltage is getting to the ignition system.
