I have a John Deere riding mower with a 12.5 hp verticle shaft Kawasaki engine. The mower is one of the step through styles not a tractor style. The problem is with the electric start. When I turn the key to start it clicks and the dash lamps dim like it is drawing the starting current but it usally won't spin the engine unless I turn the engine by hand a short distance (while holding the key to start) at which time it will begin to work and spin it over easily. (I know that this practice is is very dangerous besides being an overall pain.) It also does not work to move the engine a bit then try the starter again, you have to hold the key to start, and turn the engine. The starter motor works fine when I do the engine trick but what do you think is stopping it from working right away? The unfortunate setup of this mower is that in order to get access to the starter I think I have to remove the body.
