    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.

    gas powered riding mower battery

    How do riding mower transmissions work?

    I'm sure there are more than one answer. I know for a fact that some have gearboxes with multiple speeds and reverse. 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...

It's as if the key is being turned off. I do have the wiring diagram. And side note, see that the seat connector has a piece of wire...
