Hello,
I'm having an issue with a Honda GXV620 20HP dual-cylinder engine on a Hustler Fastrak. We purchased this mower in 2003 and it has run beautifully, the engine runs as good as when it was brand new. It has cranked flawless form 2003 until 2019, but over the last two seasons it there developed difficulties in the starter turning over the engine. At first, I removed the starter and cleaned the commutators, thinking there may be a bad spot because it would eventually crank after a few tries with the key. I would have to resort to jumping it with a vehicle, but that would be successful only when the vehicle is running and delivering 14+ volts. I eventually replaced the starter, and the problem was still there. Since then, I've put in a new battery, new positive cable, cleaned the negative cable, replaced the starter relay, that energizes the starter solenoid when the key is turned. It will eventually turn over after a lot of key turns, and it starts right away when it does crank.
If anyone has any ideas or things for me to try, I would appreciate it.
Thank you,
gamma
