I went today and bought a new battery for my riding lawn mower. I put it in. Mower would not start. No action at all when I turned the key.
Huum, must be the solinoid...so, found it, took it out and cleaned the terminals..it works ok. So, put it back in. "Huum, where does this little "green" wire go. (I had already took the switch key assy out and unplugget it from the system. So, I put the green wire on the batttery side of the solinoid. I plugget the switch key assy up and sizzle sizzle and lots of smoke came pouring out of the engine.
Oh well, burn it up. Took tester to see where it went...came from rear to the coil thing that the spark plug wire came out of. So, now I have put 12 volts on the ground wire to the ignition coil and burned it up. Exterior mounted. So, I said to self, I wonder if I burned anything up under the flywheel. I made a puller and pulled the flywheel. All is well under there. Time to put it together...dam...where is the key for the flywheel...in the mean time..my aggrivating beagle picked up the key ring and tore out of the garage with me on his tail screaming...the louder I screamed the faser he ran...Never recovered the key...so tomorrow..(I will go get coil, ignition switch, with key, and key for crank shaft...and some tiedown straps where I cut them to get the gas tank out.
THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS...THE REASON IT DID NOT START IN THE FIRST PLACE WAS I DID NOT PUSH THE CLUTCH IN.
I hope all of you have a happy Easter...and a smiley day for those of you that do not join us in that celebration.
