Hello and good day fellow Bitogers.
Went to start my JD riding mower after the winter season and it will not start.
Before I put it away for the end of the season I ran Amsoil small engine treatment rhough it and ran it until it was out of gas, it just shut off.
Took the battery out and stored it in my basement whice stays at least 64-66 degree all winter .
So I put the battery on my charger to be sure it is good and soon after it reads 100%.
Filled the gas tank up today and put the battery back in and connected it.
Let is sit for 30 minutes then tried to start it .
I had this problem last year and thought I had it licked, ended up lettting it sit after making sure the tank was full of gas.
The fuel filter was just changed last Spring .
I am putting a charge back on the battery as it was wearing down from the starting attempts.
Any ideas why this is happening , should I leave the battery in , leave a small amount of gas in the lines at the end of the season ?
