Riding lawn mower that wont start with the key but if you jump the solenoid it starts right up it has a new ignition and a new solenoid?
Most of the time this is caused by a bad safety switch. Most riding mowers have at least three safety switches.
1) The clutch/brake pedal. (it needs to be down to crank the motor)
2) The seat safety (You have to be seated to run but usually it will crank and start without this one causing trouble)
3) The deck height lever. (it usually has to be all the way up)
4) There may be a fourth on the shifter. (it usually has to be in nuetral)
If any of these go bad they could cause your problem. My guess would be the ckutch/brake switch.
What else can I help you with?

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.
