Hi, I actually posted in one of the other threads regarding my sluggish hydrostatic unit. It was suggested I drive it up a small slope and test whether it is hard to push down the slope. So I thought I would give it a try, only problem is that it has been sitting a while. On hooking everything up, when I turn the ignition key and release it, the starter bendix still engages, so the power is still being received by the starter. I assume the fault lies either with the starter solenoid or key assembly. How do I check to see which would be the likely culprit. Thanks, Terry
