Help me troubleshoot my s100 please 😭
Hello! I got this John Deere series 100 from my dad a while back. I was about 20 minutes into mowing when I shut it off to clear some dog toys out of the yard and when I went to start it back up again it was doing... this.
Things I did (that I understand):
- Checked the gas tank and topped it up. It's currently full.
- Checked the oil, it's fine.
- Checked the fuse, it's good.
- Used an air compressor to blow grass out of the engine
I also looked at the spark plug and it looks fine to my eye but that's probably not saying much. Everything appears to be connected.
Any advice is much appreciated! I was halfway done mowing so I'd love to get this guy up and running to at least finish the job before I have to have it serviced or something. I'm a woman with zero small engine experience but willing to learn 😭 Thanks for your time!
Edit: I fixed it!! I eased up off the choke as I was turning the ignition and it started 😆 I’ll leave this up in case that (probably obvious) answer helps anyone else lol
