Hi everyone. First post here. little story to my problem.
I bought the mower last year and it ran awesome. So a few weeks ago i started it up and ran it around the yard to make sure its ready for this year. 2 weeks later, Went to start it up and nothing.. Barely sputtered a few times.. Then I see a mouse drop out of the mower :( So I end up draining the battery trying to see if it will start. pull it apart and find that it made a nest and chewed through coil wire. So i got a new one part number M133019. Put it in and fire it up with the help of one of those battery booster packs since my battery was dead.. Runs great.. leave it warm up.. start cutting and after 1 min it dies.. 20amp fuse is blown.. I replaced fuse and fired it up.. start cutting and again 1 min later fuse is blown. So I check my voltage to battery and its charging at 15.8 volts while running half throttle and spikes to over 16 when full throttle. I was able to run it half throttle and finish cutting the grass. I ordered a used voltage regulator from ebay. My brother is telling me the battery booster pack ruined the regulator. Does this sound like the problem.. or could it be a bad ignition module I replaced? I'll update in a few days and let you know if the Voltage Regulator fixes the issue.
Thanks
