I have a 2014 MX5060 that was working fine last week. When I tried to start it this week, it simply clicked once or twice. The engine didn't even try to turn. I tried to jump start it, again it clicked once or twice but didn't turn.
I replaced the battery and replaced the solenoid but again, just a click without any engine turning. The staffing at the local dealers is not up to snuff, probably due to the pandemic. I can only think to start calling dealers out of my area to speak to someone who is willing to coach me. BTW, that was Toro's CSV recommendation. Thanks in advance for any advise.

Remove the spark plug and try again
If it spins without the plug in then either you have a valve problem or the engine is hydrolocked
Be careful because if it is hydrolocked petrol will shoot out the plug hole, so keep the spark plug well out of the way.
Let us know what happens.
