briggs engine on craftsman rider will not start when turning key. have replaced battery, starter which was bad, switch and relay(i think that is what it is called). yesterday, it started right off the bat then i shut it down and tried to restart and it would not start. i have to click, click,click the key and sometimes it will spin the motor and it will start. it has been this way where i had to click it several times for a couple of years and it would always start after a couple times. it just wont catch each time this year.when i do click it, i can hear a sound like a squeal that sounds as if it may be coming from the starter.
am i crazy or is the mower haunted. any suggestions appreciated. this is my first time to this area and it appears to be fabulous site. thank you
