Ok, this is not about my car, but a riding mower. LOL. Anyway, we are trying to figure out if the battery is bad or if it's the battery cables. We have to jump start the mower every time we use it. Now my grandfather says it might be the homemade battery cables, but I think it's the battery, cause it does it every single time. Even if I am mowing, the lawnmower will give out, and I have to push back over to one of our vehicles and jump it again. It starts immediately though.
Also, I am not sure if it's the battery that's causing the mower to die out, or if we are still having carb problems too. Earlier I was able to keep the mower running by lowering the throttle and pulling the choke out. Then once I keep it running, I push the choke back in, turn the throttle up and it's fine for a bit, until about 10 minutes later and I have to do the same thing again.
I just don't want my hub & our friend to have to tear the mower apart if it's not the carb. Any ideas?
Thanks.
