There is normally a second starter-position solenoid under the clutch pedal. It probably is not getting contacted when you step on the pedal.
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.
The solenoid on a riding mower serves as an electromagnetic switch that controls the flow of electrical current to the starter motor. When the ignition key is turned, the solenoid engages, allowing the battery's power to reach the starter, which in turn starts the engine. Additionally, it helps protect the electrical system by preventing excessive current from damaging components. Overall, the solenoid is crucial for the starting process of the mower.
On a riding mower, the solenoid typically has two main terminals: one for the battery and the other for the starter motor. The positive battery cable connects to one terminal, while the cable leading to the starter motor connects to the other terminal. Additionally, the solenoid may have a smaller terminal for the ignition switch or starter switch wire. Always consult your mower's specific wiring diagram for accurate connections.
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.
Like any power switch you have Power in, Ground, Switched Power out and the Switch Terminal.
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.
I believe you mean attributed, but it greatly depends on the machine. Of course, the starter is affected, as could be the anti-backfire solenoid. Another possible place affected would be the PTO if it has an electric clutch to engage the deck.
If your Huskee riding mower keeps needing starter solenoids, it could be due to several reasons. A failing battery, poor electrical connections, or a malfunctioning ignition switch can place excessive strain on the solenoid. Additionally, if the solenoid is overheating due to prolonged cranking or a faulty starter motor, it may fail prematurely. Regular maintenance and checking the electrical system can help identify and resolve the underlying issues.
