Q
how to tell if riding mower engine is locked up
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
To determine if a riding mower engine is locked up, first try manually turning the crankshaft. Remove the spark plug for safety, then use a wrench on the crankshaft bolt to turn it. If it won't budge, the engine might be seized. Common causes include overheating, lack of oil, or internal damage. Also, listen for unusual noises when trying to start it; a clicking sound without the engine turning over could indicate a locked engine. Before concluding, ensure it's not a dead battery or a starter issue. If confirmed locked, it's often more cost-effective to replace the engine or mower, depending on the age and condition of the equipment.
