I bought a SH with a 12 volt system on it. When I start it there is considerabe arcing at the solenoid while starting. It seems to go away when tractor is running. Can anyone give an idea what I have to do to fix it? Thanks

Mike

Thank you all for the info. The connection at the point of the arcing was not tight. I found shortly after I posted the note. I have not tried to start tractor yet. Thanks again.

I had the same problem. It was caused by a bad solenoid. Replaced it and problem disappeared.

That arcing connection no longer exists once the solenoid is no longer energized. I agree with the other gents, sounds like a loose or carboned up or otherwise poor connection which hopefully removal n cleaning n wire brushing of alllll components n terminals n studs etc may cure UNLESS its a poor cable end crimp and the carbon n arcing is taking place where you cant remove n fix it like under the crimp between it n the cable grrrrr r?????

As Rusty says. Arcing like that can only be from loose connections or a bad soliniod

Clean and tighten ALL electrical connections. If the arcing is coming from inside the solenoid, replace it.
