Hello everyone!
I thought I had resolved a no start situation with a new battery, however I am back to not having my mower crank/start unless I’m on my battery booster or onboard battery is at a very very high state of charge > 12.9v. When all safeties are happy and I hit the key, nothing. I have ~12.7v on the battery and see the same at the purpleish blue solenoid wire (when disconnected) when the key is turned. It seems odd that when I increase the voltage via jump box (14v), I'm able to get it to crank & start and am just wondering if anyone thinks this could be something other than a starter/solenoid before I go changing parts. I am also able to get it to crank when jumping the solenoid or when battery voltage exceeds 13.9 via boost box. Engine is a Kohler ECV749
Thanks!!
