Hi everybody, I'm new to the list. I just inherited a Murray riding lawn mower from a friend and it doesn't run. He said that when it stopped running he figured it was the starter. I haven't tried it yet due to a dead battery. He said when trying to start it, the engine will turn but never start. I'm going to get a battery charger tomorrow and see what I can find out. My question is, how do I find out what model engine it is? All I can find is Briggs and Stratton 12 hp Synchro-Blanaced. I was looking at starters and it would help if I had a model number for the engine. I'm not sure how old the mower is, but it looks like at least 8-10 years old. It is red if that helps (I know the new ones are black). I believe also that he said he replaced the starter with one that wasn't exactly the same. And he put a new fuel filter on. I'm thinking its not getting any gas, so I'll probably start with cleaning everything up.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Neil
