      Paula RodriguezAug 14, 2025
      There are several reasons why your Gravely Lawn Mower engine might not crank or start: * The safety interlock system may not be engaged or could be faulty. * The fuel tanks might be empty; if so, fill them. * The fuel shut-off valve may be closed; open it. * The battery could be discharged; charge it. * There might be a poor connection between the battery and battery cables; tighten the cables and/or clean the battery and cables. * The spark plug wire(s) may be loose, or the spark plug(s) may be faulty; connect the wire(s) or replace the plug(s).
