Sorry, I tried the Search on this site, but it's not working.

I mowed, swept off the top of the deck as usual before putting it away, got back on and the mower won't start. Dead as a door nail. Checked gas and oil - fine. Check wires that I could see and battery connections. Put deck up, turned ignition, put deck down, tried ignition. Control levers in, levers out - nothing. No clicking when the key is turned, no sound at all.

I have the mower serviced every Spring -EXCEPT THIS SPRING (!), and it's always started for me. Nope, can't find the owner's manual that's usually right there on the shelf to look up trouble shooting. Any ideas before I haul it off to the shop?
