My mower will not crank. I can hear the solenoid engaging when the key is turned to the start position.
Background- I have replaced the solenoid, pto switch, ignition switch. In the beginning it kept blowing the 20amp fuse when the key was turned. I completely removed the wiring harness and reassembled. It’s not blowing the fuse anymore, still won’t crank.
I’ve also checked resistance in electric clutch, removed flywheel to ensure the stator is intact. Jumped the starter both on and off the mower, it works. I jumped all safety switches to “bypass” them, which in turn gets power to solenoid. I can hear solenoid engage when key is turned to start, so I know switches aren’t the problem. I’ve also jumped from truck battery to mower battery to make sure I had adequate voltage.
im at a loss. I believe it has to be within the actual motor wiring.. it’s like it’s getting a “kill” signal somehow.
Any suggestions?
