Bought above mower about a week ago (used) and mowed last night. It's a Murray 11 with a Briggs and Stratton 12 HP engine. Went to start it up this AM to finish up and it won't even turn over. I had been mowing in the dark the last few minutes and had the lights on, noticed a few sparks (only twice for a second or two) from what seemed to be the left side around the deck. The lights dimmed a bit... but no loss of power. Continued mowing and shut off. Forgot to turn gas valve to "off" position and believe in my haste may have left lights "on" auxillary position but they did not shine after it was turned off so I don't know what the problem is. I replaced the battery, checked out the spark plug (seemed fairly new) and checked for shorts in wiring. No luck... It will not turn over at all and shows no amperers when trying to turn over. Did not cover mower last night and it may have rained. Aside from being a girl and never using a riding mower before, what should I do??? It's been 7-8 hours of sunshine on the mower and thought any moisture would have dried up by now. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Signed, Confused in KC
