I bought a used STX 38 for $350 from CL. It appear to be very clean. Hood is not cracked, seat not torn, tires and rims look very clean. Has black mulching deck, and blades look fine too.
But it doesn't start.
I turn the key from "OFF" to "RUN" position, then something clicks once. Sounds like a relay or clutch. I bypassed the seat switch and I put the breaks on. Still the same. (Battery seems to be ok)
Also, I left it in my garage for a day, and I smell gas. Could it be leaking somewhere?
Another question. If I attach a headlight (like a car fog lamp) to it, will the electrical system be able to handle it? Can I use 40+40 watts lamp?
