Okay so off of my relay I have the purple wire and I guess I don't know where it gets its power I see the end of it is at the ignition. But I just hit it with the power and it did engage.
Okay I'm not able to attach or even take a picture it's saying it's too large. But yes that is the starter I installed which looked exactly like the original and I put the positive battery terminal on the left side post and the other side has the two red wires that are coming from other places
I have a John Deere 165 hydrostatic and present moment my starter stays engaged but the solenoid won't engage and so it just sits there when the battery is connected non stop spinning. How do I get that to stop and what's making it not engaged the solenoid? This is a brand new starter
