It was totally by accident. I was checking for 12V at starter solenoid on the wire from starter switch. Sometimes I had it, sometimes not. A friend of mine was helping and he moved the fuse holder as I was checking for voltage and BAM, I had voltage. He moved it a little and no voltage. As we...

IT"S FIXED!!!!! The problem was the in-line fuse holder that connects to the solenoid. It was not making a good connection thru the holder. I replaced it and she starts and runs. Thanks for the help. Glad to have that done and can move on to something else.

Mine has 5 relays. The center one was clicking yesterday but not today. I am NOT getting 12V at small wire on starter solenoid when key is turned. I checked for power at handle switches and seat switch and nothing. I did check continunity on each of these switches and they show good. Even...

It's a Bad Boy MZ Magnum Serial # BMG5427BS06131284 The part that confuses me it that the mower will start and run fine if I jump across the solenoid. If the handles or park brake are not in proper position it won't start jumping solenoid. To me that says safety switches are working. I thought...

And where/what am I looking for?

I am having an issue with my 54" MZ with 27 HP Briggs engine. It will not start or turn over using key. Here is a list of things I found with it and things I did. It will start and run if I jump the solenoid. 1. I found negative battery cable not connected to engine and frame. Bolt must have...

My dad has a ZT48HD with the 24 hp Kawasaki engine. It starts up with no problem but once up to speed it's starts to miss and will finally quit. It does this with or without blades engaged. It dies even quicker when blades are engaged (no surprise there). I know it's not ignition problem because...

My dad has a Gravely HD48 ZTR. It starts and runs fine. Can drive all over the yard no problem. When you go to engage blades it starts to spit and sputter and will finally quit running. Doesn't sound like to switch for the blade engagement because it doesn't die right away. Carb problems??? It's...

You may remember from a previous post I had trouble with the B&S 27hp engine on my Bad Boy. To recap what was done since that time: 1. New ignition coil on #2 cylinder. Old was bad, no spark 2. New B&S carb. Factory job not Chinese knockoff. Replaced it because still would not run right after...

I have a 54" Magnum Bad Boy Mower with the 27 hp Briggs and Stratton engine. This thing has been a problem since day one. Now once again it stalls when mowing. Even if grass is only a couple of inches tall it will bog down and stop. It will barely cut at half speed. It acts as if only running on...

My neighbor has a log splitter from Tractor Supply. It has a B&S 675 Series engine. The problem is that engine will not start without holding choke shut manually and then working throttle by hand. I am sure there is a spring or rod missing on carb. but not sure what or where it goes since I...
