My Tb280 Es With Electric Start This Year(purchased 4/2015) Won't Start
I charged the battery 8.5 hours, put in fresh gas, check the oil level (it was fine), air filter was fine and I put in a brand new spark plug, checked the fuses in battery compartment (ok) and it just turns and turns but won't start. It is a TB280 ES with a Briggs & Stratton 725 EX series/190cc engine.
