    New guy here, first time with a mower that has a drink holder. I got a 42" riding mower a couple of days ago that needs things (head gasket, who knows what else after that?) and so far, I haven't seen the headlight operating, so I looked at a schematic and it shows that it "has a special...

    My 54 inch Bad Boy MZ Magnum zero turn riding mower quit on me. It's model BMG5425KO. I turn the key and it just clicks. Battery is good. When I jumped/shorted the starter solenoid, it cranks. I thought it might be a bad starter solenoid, so I replaced it since I had a spare one. Still nothing...

And zero-turns are probably using either hydrostatic or a gas-electric direct drive type system. But is there another option? I made a post in a go kart forum about how it would...
