Usually there is a combination choke on the throttle, when you put the throttle all the way up it sets the choke and once the engine fires you idle it downa little to full throttle.

Craftsman DLT 3000 lawn tractor. It won't turn over with a new battery.

Question edited for clarity, 'make model (what it is)'.
Question moved from Cars and Trucks.

Batteries can be new and not be fully charged. Lots of ideas in the link, but test the starter solenoid first.

..

This battery tells you how to load test a battery, about connection being clean. Also that new batteries aren't always fully charged. He explains the solenoid function




And another good electrical testing video.

Is there a fuse on my bob villa 21 hp craftsman lawn tractor? The battery is charged but it won't start, won't even turn over.

Check you safety switches, brake, neutral, seat, blades, and reverse (if equiped). Then if that does not work I check the starting solinoid and the ignition switch.

I have not used my lawn tractor for a long time. now it just CLICKS when I try to start it.

battery does not have enough charge to spin the starter, you might be able to charge it up. try jump starting from a car battery then mow your whole lawn without stopping. if it restarts after that you are good to go, if not go to walmart and spend 25 bucks on a new battery. replace the gas first.

I have a craftsman electric key start lawn mower. I used the key start twice and have charged it after each mowing, but now the key start won't turn it over.

the battery probably got over charge & shorted the cells the tractor should charge the battery as it runs if it was equiped with electric start the battery charger more than likely over charged it killing the battery
