Just want to make sure I'm not missing something before I pull the starter out of my 2N. Saturday, I ran it for about 2 hours digging holes with the auger I threw on the back, it's not a fan of running it, probably because of all the rocks in the ground, but it does it.
Yesterday, I fired it up to dig more holes (Wife wants that fence in by last June.) it ran at lower RPMs than normal for about 5 minutes, then quit. (I let it run in neutral hoping it would figure itself out, so engine was running with no additional load). After that, I tried to fire it back up, and the starter turned, but the engine (Crank shaft?) wouldn't.
I'm not looking forward to pulling the starter out, because I've heard it's not difficult to bungle up, and I'd rather not spend the >$200 on a new one if I don't have to. Any insight would be appreciated.
