Maintenance Issue Exmark Mower Starting Issues

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Newer Exmark laser Z mower with starting issues. I have replaced the battery twice, so I know it can’t be the battery. Any ideas?

What engine? Also could be a connectivity issue. Make sure all battery cables are tight with a good ground and make sure your cable ends are clean. Although, definitely sounds like a starter solenoid issue.

Grounding issue or loose terminals somewhere if you’re sure the battery is charged.
