As noted in a post a month back I lucked into 2 314s for free... Finally got one back together and mowed for awhile.. but as I returned to the shed
oil started pouring.. it was the seal behind the flywheel. Installed it yesterday, ran for a few mins..all was good.. went to mow today and nada. It was
hard cranking...prior would fire right up..but this time I noticed when I toggled the key nothing..until I heard a click from the solenoid then it would turn
over sometimes starting sometimes not. So having a few spares I switched it out..fired up..ran ..stopped reinstalled battery tray and battery and damned
if it started doing it again. Toggle switched it kicks over..tester shows a a strong spark for about 2 turns then nothing as engine turns..stops itself after
15seconds of turning and I have to wait to hear that click again before it will turn over... anyone else encountered this?
