Still trying to get the new engine to turn over------
When shorting out old solenoid with screwdriver the starter will turn the engine over---- When using key only it's not doing anything.
Grandson done this with old solenoid which would point to bad solenoid so we got a new one and put it on mower. The new one is doing the same as the old one, shorted out it will turn starter, using key it's nothing---- He's getting power but shorting out somewhere. The key switch is also new being replaced few days ago.
Any thing we can try before having to take it to shop to find out the problem???? So close yet so far!!
Thanks for any ideas----
