Hi Jerry:
These machines have a lot of safety switches intended to protect the operator.
If no-one is sitting on the seat (activating that switch), releasing the brake will shut the engine off.
That's the first thing I'd be checking.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.
first try and start it with carb cleaner or starting fluid with the air filter out if it fires then its a carb/fuel problem if not it could be a spark problem remove the plug connect hte wire back up and crank the engine over while looking for spark if no spark disconnect the kill switch wires from the side of the engine should be a single wire near the throttle cable if spark with that off the problem is in the wiring or safety switch if still no spark its the coil
Hi, check you have voltage at the pto plug in connector when the mower is running and the pto switch on. If so the pto needs replacing. If not you have a bad contact or broken wire somewhere. Hope this helps, regards Phil.
sounds like switches reversed, remove the shifter and swap the two switches. the for/rev is a spring loaded switch, the hi/low will stay on either position on its own.
good luck!
Your safety switch may be dead but it is not extinct as a dodo!The switch is only an on off switch, not much can go wrong with it.Try the fuse. You can find the fuse on the wiring loom next to the solenoid.
Hi, There is a switch underneath the seat that will shut the engine down if the mower is engaged and you are not on the seat...that switch is bad and it thinks you are not on the seat so it shuts you down...
I might know what the problem is, on those models there should be a ignition switch, or a killswitch under the seat of the mower. When the 2 people sat on it, it might have jarred or broke the switch. You might want to check it to see if thats your problem. I hope this might help.
Hi..my name is Keith...and it could be a blown inline fuse or one of the safety switches has failed...and if you troubleshoot these..and everything is fine..write me back and we will dig further into the electricial system
