Mend Riding Mower Battery Engine

Where do I start to find my lawn mower problem?

I have a riding mower and the battery will not stay charged for nothing. Once you get the battery charged, the mower will not shut off unless the battery is disconnected. While mower is running the engine seems to sputter and rev up and down on its own. Where should I start looking for the problem?

I think you must begin by accepting that you do not have a Lawnmower Problem but actually have three separate problems...

The Battery Charging system is obvoiusly not working.

There appears to be an issue with the circuitry that kills the engine

The engine runs erratically with varying speed indepentdent of any operator input - possibly fuel related.

It is often best when faced with multiple problems to address the one that is most likely to be the easiest to resolve - early success raises the spirits and gives a positive expectation for the next problem.

Good luck...
