Craftsman riding lawn mower 20.0 hp OHV won't start. Turns out to be a blown buss fuse. Easy fix.

Some asked - what made the fuse blow? Good question. Turned out the battery wasn't as good as I thought it was. If you look close in the video, you will see that the battery tester was switching between a medium and full charge. I later discovered that the battery was indeed faulty. I tried to recharge it a couple of times but it never held long. When the battery gets too weak but still strong enough to just turn over the engine, it can send a surge which will blow your fuse. After replacing the battery with a new battery, I never had any more problems with it.
