Good call. I confirmed that the wiring harness on the mower’s switch matched the harness associated with the manual start unit (as detailed in the manual)May not indicate electric start because it was common to have a two position key switch that were basically on or off, with no turn position for start.confirmed that the wiring to the kit switch matches a manual start harness detailed in the owners manual.
Well. I think you nailed it (I hope). The previous part I tried was the battery ignition on! I just ordered the pull start version. We will see!Has the replacement regulator been confirmed to be the 12 403 01-S or 12 755 111-S which is rope start only and not the 41 403 10-S or 25 403 37-S regulator which is for battery ignition.
Loose flywheel magnets can also give those types of voltage readings.
