Hi
I bought an old house and inherited a ride on lawn mower. I took it out for its first cut last weekend and it was going fine - it cut out a couple of times. But I was able to restart. Last time it cut out I couldn't get it to start. Wont turnover at all.
I checked the battery and its good. I followed the 12 v and checked on the coil terminal for 12v on the starter solenoid when turning ignition - all good! But there was no 12v on output side going to the starter motor!
So it looks as if the solenoid is blown?
But what blew it?
I cannot push the mower backwards - it will go forwards ok - but not backwards.
If I lift the mower off the floor the wheels will turn - if I tip it on one side so one wheel off the ground I can push it both directions. But not when both rear wheels are on the floor.
So it seems to me it is stuck in gear (but why can I roll it forward). Could that give the same symptom as the solenoid blown?
