    YT4000 Start Issue

    Sorry about that. I do have an electrical background - so I'm not trying to do things willy-nilly. Admittedly I should have done a better job at testing, my apologies. Regardless, I performed 3 more tests (don't worry, these will be more insightful): 1. I pushed the mower out, pulled up the...

    YT4000 Start Issue

    ok. Since this is a brand new battery - maybe I take it back. Still I wonder about a couple of things: 1. When I move around on the mower (just shift my weight side to side) - I can easily change the voltage almost 2V 2. When the battery has both posts connected (after having the...

    YT4000 Start Issue

    Sorry for the delay, had my son's baseball to watch last night. Ran the same test with the solenoid grounded to the negative post of the battery. First note: Overnight the battery power jumped up such that it was nearly 15VDC (I had the chassis ground pulled from the negative post). I put...

    YT4000 Start Issue

    It is a 4-Terminal solenoid, actually. I ran a couple of tests on it including what you mentioned above. After that I jumpered it according to a youTube video (). I tested power at the starter also, expecting at least the 11.7 V, but nothing there. Since it is a 4 terminal, the ground is on...

    YT4000 Start Issue

    This was trickier than I thought. At first it showed 11.5V. Then 11.7V. What I noticed in subsequent steps was that when I was on the mower, the voltage could change all the way to to 12.7 depending upon where I was standing. Steady-state was 11.7V, though. **EDIT** No corrosion at all on...

    YT4000 Start Issue

    I checked to see if there were a ground problem doing the following: Checked across #1 (battery positive) and #2 (battery negative): 11.4VDC Checked across #1 (battery positive) and frame: 11.4VDC (if I made sure the connection was good) Pulled the solenoid wires off and checked #1 (battery...

    YT4000 Start Issue

    Tractor: YT4000 New Battery: Reads 12.1 VDC Solenoid/Starter When turning the key, nothing happens. No clicking of the solenoid even. When checking the power to the solenoid, there is power. Start Switch: Testing the start switch shows that turning to the start position properly connects...
