New member looking for some advice.
I have a Scotts S1642 riding mower that is about 10 years old. The unit has been struggling to start (i.e. Slow cranking but eventually catching) for several months now. In the past when I've had problems, I've "topped off" the battery with my charger and the machine has started ok. When I've been unable to get it to start it the past, it would usually make a audible clicking sound, but refuse to turn over. Now it's doing absolutely nothing when I turn the key.
Does this sound like a starter solenoid? I picked a generic one up at Lowes this morning on the off chance that it might be the issue. I'm a novice when it comes to these types of things so any help would be appreciated. If it does sound like the solenoid, does anyone know where I can find it on my machine.
Thanks, in advance, for the advice.
