Give that starter a sharp whack with a hammer and see if it helps.


Took us forever to figure this out on my Kioti.
It simply needed new terminals, the wires were corroded back far enough under the insulator that it was UN-noticeable.
Replaced both +/- terminals and no problem since.

I bought a starter and new battery before figuring it out.
It's a cheap and easy place to start.
