Yard Machines MTD Gold 185 HP Lawn Tractor 13AJ771S004 Questions & Answers
Was mowing just stopped
First check 4 things.
Check the gas tank for fuel (I know it sounds silly)
Change the spark plug
Clean or replace the air filter
Try charging the battery (you can also try to jump it just like you would with a car).
Let me know if none of these things work and try to give me more details about what happens when you try to start it.
I HAVE A 1994 MTD 18HP BRIGGS WITH MOD
The tractor has a variable speed pulley for the 1-6 gears. You will want to check the top pulley on the shaft that is in the center of your tractor between the engine and transaxle. you may have broke the spring or adjuster.
My MTD Yard Machine Lawn Tractor suddenly chokes
need to remove float bowl and clean it and pull the jet in ctr out and clean it also, there should be fine small holes in it you barely see sometimes and if it has a rollover solenoid ( electrical solenoid in float bowl clean it as well ) so that ir actully moves up and down as you cycle key from off to on. also check your fuel filter strainer in carb , its a little screen most of the time in carb base on top part, lots of time this will partially plug up also and of course check your needle and seat while you are there! should take care of your fuel problem. If you have an external fuel pump I would also check to make sure it is pumping by pulling hose off carb and rolling eng. over, should squirt gas out.....good luck
