Why Won T My Troy Bilt Mower Start. Hi I recently was given a Troy Bilt TB230 with a Briggs and Stratton 723ex motor that appears to be in very good condition however it wont start. I purchased the mower new from Lowes in 2004.

My Troy-Bilt Mower Wont Start. Believe it or not the most likely reason for your Troy-Bilt mower not starting is due to old or bad fuel. Your Mower Wont Start.
If the riding mower makes a heavy clicking or a rapid clattering sound when the key is turned to the start position there is a problem with the battery or a part of the starting circuit.
When bad or old fuel gets stuck in the carburetor float bowl some of the ingredients within can. I purchased the mower new from Lowes in 2004. I ran the mower for 3 years with no problemsand no. Inspect the spark plug for signs of wear or damage.
