LA130 gives me grief.

Spend $ 10 and buy an in line spark tester
Hook it up, get some one to sit in the seat and with the engine running get them to engage the PTO switch.
If the spark tester stops flashing then you either have a wiring problem or a faulty PTO switch.

The manual your were directed to download has very detailed instructions how to test the PTO switch

Thank you. I will give that a try.

It worked, the mower is operating normally and my wife is so happy because now she can cut grass. Thank you very much to all who replied to this post.

What worked?
How do you fix it?

Some one may have the same problem and read this thread for help.

More importantly, how did you get your wife to mow with it?

Be careful what you wish for Tom.
There are a lot of widows in the service run .
The most common comment I get from them is
" If I new mowing was this much fun before he died, I would have been mowing & he would have been dusting" :laughing:
