T2290KW No Start

Just thought I'd pass this along to other owners with a T2290KW w/Kawasaki engine. I was operating my mower (no cutting) right in the middle of doing yard work and stopped for a couple of minutes and shut the engine off. When I went to restart it, it would not start. It cranked but no start. After checking to see if it was getting gas and all the electrical switches etc. it still wouldn't start. I then unscrewed the fuel solenoid from the fuel bowl at the carburetor, took it and tested it with a 12v car battery. After watching the plunger go in and out several times, I put it back into the fuel bowl and it started. Worked fine after that. Just thought I'd share this frustrating experience.
 
Can be the wire terminal at the solenoid then that are loose. I seen several mowers with the solenoid connectors with loose terminals.
