Ariens Apex mower not starting

Hello Folks,

I’ve had my Ariens zero turn mower for over a year now and have been happy with the performance – until it refused to start yesterday. What could be behind this?

Hi Sarah,

Most of the time when a mower isn’t starting, the problem lies in the spark plug – if it has been a year since you replaced the spark plug (you said you bought it one year back), it’s likely that your plug has fried and needs to be replaced. If that isn’t the case, check the wiring in the spark plug assembly for signs of damage.
