First please understand I am not a mechanic, however I can take direction and welcome your thoughts and advice. My local shops around are 2-4 weeks out and I need to keep blowing snow. So here goes. I have a 2006 grasshopper 616 B&S V Twin w/400 hours. So here is what happened, same routine every time. I finished blowing snow, all went well, motor running fine, backed up to garage to brush excess snow off machine, throttled down to low rpm and it quit. This never happens. I tried to restart and it will not turn over. Battery tested good (replaced two months ago), 12 volt to the switch (when I turn the key I can hear one click relay?), PTO Electric clutch will engage. Went to starter crossed posts and it turns over just fine. Weird though when doing this with the key on and going direct to the starter engine would not start. All fuses tested good. Not sure if any of this makes sense. Why did the motor shut off? If anyone has any ideas, please advise.
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
