Hi group, my mower starts fine but after 30 minutes it just dies. If I try to restart I get NO click. Once I wait for 15 minutes or so, it starts right up again. Could this be the solenoid going bad? Connections at battery, switch, starter, and solenoid are clean and tight. Thank you for your help in advance.
Thank you Bertrrr. Does the solenoid have any part on keeping the tractor running or is it just to get it started? I am thinking I might have a safety switch issue. I'll by pass them to test. Thank you again.
I was going to ask, which solenoid are you two talking about? Starter or carb? Just to be clear. OP said no click so I was guessing starter. Hard to get a clear message from some of these guys.
Glad you found the problem. As for batteries they can do some pretty strange things at times.
Many years ago now I had one to reverse polarity over night in my 67 Chrysler 300. It was a fully charged battery so it should had never flipped but it did. Never figure why it did it just had to install a new battery.
