If you can see where it attached to, usually something that is controlled with a rod like a deck lever or blade engagement, brake, what have you, there will tend to be a threaded straight end of the rod for slack adjusting and a smooth, "L" shaped opposite end with a hole through it. Look for a hole wherever the L end was attached, it'll usually have wear and an oblong look to it from hundreds of uses. Put the L shaped end through it, put a washer on the end that protrudes, the one with the tiny hole, then put the correct sized hitch pin clip through the hole past the first bump, but not all the way to the 180 degree bend. The washer is to help with wear, you can also put another washer between the L bend in the rod, and wherever it does, plate or whatever, so that piece isn't overly worn or distorted by the rod, only the sacrificial washer is eventually destroyed and then easily and cheaply replaced. Good luck.
Jamessizer, you're a punk, and I reported you to fixya so they can review your account and see you for the cut-and-past scammer you are. You have 35k points for inserting a link to a manuals download site where you probably are compensated for directing traffic to, and at fixya's expense to boot, not to mention people with legitimate problems that need legitimate answers. You're a punk and I hope you're banned from this site so us real experts can actually help people. Shameful.
Try removing the lever on the shaft and turning it 180 degrees, or connecting above or below the pivot point.. This should reverse the operation of the linkage.It will be pushing the opposite way then.
check the battery and connections---is the pto in down off position check battery for corrosion and check the fuse next to the battery --if good- start testing the seat switch ,pedal switch,pto ,solenoid and starter =
when you cycle the key off and on the fuel shut off solenoid should click loud enough to hear it .Get your ear down close to the carb. There is normally a ground wire from the carb to the engine block because of all the plastic spacers they use between the carb and the cylinder head , check that also. Also if the fuel tank is below the seat it will have a fuel pump to lift the fuel up to the carb because it is lower and a fuel filter that you might want to consider to be the problem.If you want to remove the solenoid you can check it by touching the metal case of it to the neg of the battery and the wire to the positive of the battery and it should pull the plunger back ,if not slam it on the table a few times and try again because it is on the bottom side of the carb where all the water and slime lays it might be stuck. If it is for sure bad take your cutting pliers and cut off the round end of the plunger and put it back together. The idea of this solenoid is to stop the fuel from feeding the engine when you turn the key off or lift out of the seat because if the engine has carbon on the piston or head it will be hot enough to ignite the fuel and backfire and possible break the connecting rod. So if you run it with the plunger cut off let the engine idle for a bit and cool before you shut it down.
Hope this helps?
