Have a craftsman zero turn only a couple of years old. It won't turn over. Changed spark plugs, filters, carburetor, fuel pump and fresh gas. Just seeing if there is anything else I can try before putting it in a shop. Thanks.

Alternator? Battery? Starter?

When you say “won’t turn over”, do you mean nothing happens when you turn the key? Or, that it spins, but won’t start?

The starter isn't turning the motor over?
Why did you do any of that stuff?
It's probably the battery, starter, or a switch.

Check the seat switch. Could be corroded or disconnected. You can easily bypass it to narrow down the process of elimination.

I backed mine into the front ditch and turned it over completely on top of me. Bring the MF’er over here. I can turn it over.

See if it has a clogged spark arrestor.

It aint getting gas. Pull the fuel line and see if it is spewing fuel.

Fuel/air mixture isn’t set right. There’s likely a YouTube video that will show you how to set it for your model mower.

I had this problem and it was a bad fuel solenoid under the carb.

None of these are possible fixes to an engine that won’t turn over by the way.
