Like any power switch you have Power in, Ground, Switched Power out and the Switch Terminal.
I assume you are talking about the starter solenoid: Follow the positive battery cable from the battery - the other end will be connected to the starter solenoid.
Look for loose connections at the battery, starter solenoid, starter and switch. If all connections are good, the starter solenoid probably needs to be replaced.
There is normally a second starter-position solenoid under the clutch pedal. It probably is not getting contacted when you step on the pedal.
Find your model number and look for wiring diagram at sonnysbolens.com
I assume you mean a starter solenoid. Look at how the old one is hooked up. Put the new one in that way. ...and disconnect the battery first.
Look for a loose or corroded battery cable. If the cables are ok at the battery, check the connection at the starter and at the starter solenoid. Otherwise, the solenoid may need to be replaced.
the solenoid switch on a riding lawnmower is located at the bottom of the carburetor bowl, its used to turn the fuel on and off. some older models don't have the solenoid. Also,there is another solenoid switch for the starter i think that's the one you want, that's located under the gas tank on the right hand side on the frame. good luck
Sounds like a bad ignition switch. It could also be a bad starter solenoid. If you can find the solenoid you can unplug one of the small wires while it is trying to crank over and see if it stops. If it does it is probably the switch. If it doesn't then it is probably the solenoid.
Contact Sears or check their web site.
Could be -battery dead -ignition switch broken -safety switches not working -solenoid switch not working -brushes bad in starter -gear warn out on starter -starter motor dirty -starter no good -belts to tight on deck any of the above.
battery, solenoid, starter, engines locked up from overheating, or a bad switch (IE seat brake deck blade engagement swithces)
