Why is the starting motor not cranking on my BigDog Lawn Mower?

  James KellyAug 15, 2025
  If your BigDog Lawn Mower's starting motor isn't cranking, it could be due to several reasons. Ensure the park brake lever is fully engaged in the park position. Check that the deck clutch switch is disengaged. A weak or dead battery can also prevent starting, so recharge or replace it as needed. Examine the electrical connections for any corrosion or looseness. Also, inspect the fuses and replace any that are blown. Finally, make sure the neutral switches are properly engaging by moving the steering control lever to the neutral position or adjusting the switches.

  If your BigDog Lawn Mower engine won't start, starts with difficulty, or struggles to stay running, several factors could be at play. First, ensure you have enough fuel and that the fuel line isn't blocked; refill the tank or replace the line if necessary. Check that the fuel valve is open. Make sure you're using the correct type of fuel; if not, drain the tank and replace it with the right fuel. A dirty fuel filter can also cause issues, so replace it.
