Engine fails to turn over and the previous owner said he diagnosed that as the problem. Whenever it happens, I just push the wire further in and it seems to fix it after multiple attempts. Just want a permanent fix

Three options repairing this area.
1] buy and install the two wiring harnesses. Mower side and engine side.
2] cut and splice in used connector housings and with pins and sockets. Requires wire cutters, crimpers, and butt connectors. Or do it sloppily with electrical tape.
3] Professionally replace the pins and sockets. This means you need the .084 pin and socket removal tool, wire cutters, an open barrel crimper, and new .084 Molex pins and sockets. In a shop setting this the easiest way to repair this area.
IF this is the problem your engine should cranking fine just not starting and running because the fuel solenoid in not working all the time.
