Tecumseh Electric Starter ?


Question:I just replaced my Tecumseh starter on my 1993 Craftsman lawnmower. 12hp. The starter spins when I hook a jumper pack to it but not through the battery. I assume the battery is dead. However shouldn't I be able to start the mower by jumping the starter? When I jump it the starter doesn't hit the fly wheel. Why? What can I do to fix it? Could it be my jumper pack is just not strong enough? Its 12v 6amp. Please tell me this is a simple inexpensive fix. thanks

Answers:
I think you are right when you suspect a bad battery. Disconnect one of its terminals. If the battery is bad, the starter should work when jumped to the two terminals but not the bad battery.
