murry riding mower

13 years ago

I have an old murry riding mower that will no longer start. i have replaced the battery and checked the starter. i was wondering if there is a fuse in the electrical system somewhere that may be blown that i can't find. my modle number is : F4316070
any help will be greatly appreciated. when it stopped working, the engine began to puff white exhaust and then backfired before i could cut power.

Does it click or make ANY sounds when you turn the key?

There should be a fuse on the wire going from the solenoid + post to the key switch. (typically it's a RED wire connected to the same terminal that the battery + cable connects to)

That's the typical arrangement for the vast majority of lawn tractors.
