Safeties in cold weather - safety circuit
Thank you! Took about 5 seconds with a pair of wire-cutters to correct my problem for the day. I'll properly clean out that connector with the spring-loaded conductor inside - later in the week. I bet there's dirt/grass that prevented it from losing connection when it was plugged into the... -

Safeties in cold weather - safety circuit
Thank you - That gives me a good spot to start tomorrow. The connector looks good - I haven't removed the seat, yet to access the button on the seat switch. I didn't realize there was a connector INSIDE the harness connector itself - so that explains a continuity when it's disconnected from... -

Safeties in cold weather - safety circuit
I have a quick question regarding safeties in sub-freezing weather. I have an OLD snapper LT125 - that I recently upgraded the pulse fuel pump to an electric fuel pump (and it runs SOOO much better now!!) I typically use this mower as an ATV (with a pull-behind cart) to move equipment and...
