    Troubleshooting Starting Issue?

    Well, well, well....ya'll didn't think I was one of those that got a little information and disappeared without a conclusion did ya'? :p I got fed up with this mower and shoved it in the shed, put a tarp on it, and waited for warmer weather. Spring has come and I started going through things...

    Troubleshooting Starting Issue?

    Ok, as I ignorantly chase my tail back and forth....lol.... I pulled the solenoid. 4 point/post solenoid. I put 12 Volts across the blades and it clicks solidly every time. Put a meter on continuity on the screw terminals and it rings for continuity when I charge the solenoid at the blades...

    Troubleshooting Starting Issue?

    I jumpered the foot switch wiring harness from the point that has voltage to the one above it. That's the way the foot switch seems to operate. When pushed in there is continuity between those terminal posts on the switch. No change in problem. Still no start. Just an update. Thanks.

    Troubleshooting Starting Issue?

    I should have noted in the tests above that there was no one in the seat and the seat switch has always worked as designed fyi. I got the foot switch wiring harness loose. The clasp is on the bottom on this one if anyone needs to know. And the switch is gray/white AND black plastic. The mistake...

    Troubleshooting Starting Issue?

    Using this diagram. The switch tests to have continuity where it should in the positions noted. Other VOLTAGE tests I performed if it helps is to test the harness this attaches too in the following manner. -Black Lead of the multimeter connected at the negative of the battery. -Red Lead used...

    Troubleshooting Starting Issue?

    Here's a dumb question: How do you disconnect the wiring harness from the foot pedal switch for testing? I've disconnected various harnesses from various things & usually there's a clip you push down or pull up. Then wiggle and slide off. This is on here pretty tight and I don't seem to see a...

    Troubleshooting Starting Issue?

    Thanks. I keep coming back to the PTO test as a way to chase the voltage loss. Reason being is that the PTO will from the factory engage regardless of safety switches when the key is on in the "run" position. Don't have to be in the seat and don't have to press the brake/clutch/safety switch...

    Troubleshooting Starting Issue?

    How about the pedal switch? Any test to do there? Thanks.

    Troubleshooting Starting Issue?

    Here's a picture of my solenoid/terminal junction where the majority of the testing I'm referring too above is done if it helps.

    Troubleshooting Starting Issue?

    Ok. I finally got a chance to check some things with my meter for further input. Battery condition: 13.45 Volts (Just removed the charger.) Pulled fuse and tested. It tones to be good. (Ohm continuity.) Testing with meter: -Black lead on negative/ground of battery-Red lead to first terminal...

    Troubleshooting Starting Issue?

    Thanks for the latest information. Working on wrapping my head around the schematics as I'm not that good at it. One thing I will respectively disagree with is that the PTO should not engage if there is no one in the seat. Maybe that is what StarTech is explaining above? Normal operation...
