A fuel solenoid on a riding lawnmower is an electromechanical device that controls the flow of fuel to the engine. When the ignition is turned on, the solenoid activates, opening a valve that allows fuel to flow from the tank to the carburetor. This ensures that the engine receives the proper fuel supply for starting and running. If the solenoid fails, the mower may experience starting issues or run poorly due to inadequate fuel delivery.
If you are talking about the fuel shutoff solenoid then there are two wires
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
A mulch blade works well on a riding lawnmower.
Assuming it is equipped with a Briggs & Stratton: Fuel solenoid test: Unclip wiring harness and remove solenoid from carburetor float bowl. Take a charged 9 volt battery, and touch two leads from the battery terminal to the solenoid terminals (polarity doesn't matter). You should hear an audible click as it engages, on some models you can actually see the solenoid plunger retract under power. If nothing happens, replace solenoid.
It works as the connector between the battery and the starter. When the key is turned the solenoid makes the connection between those two cables and allows the engine to crank over. If the mower is equiped with safety switches they override the connection and keep the solenoid from working until all the switches have been closed.
If oil is coming out of the fuel pump on your riding lawnmower, it could be due to a few reasons. One common cause is a faulty fuel pump, which may have internal damage or wear that allows oil to leak. Another possibility is an overfilled crankcase, causing excess pressure that pushes oil into the fuel system. Lastly, a damaged or worn gasket seal could also lead to oil leaking from the engine into the fuel pump.
Sometimes a needle and seat will stick "closed", especially if the fuel was not drained over winter. There can also be sediment in the tank or fuel line which prevents fuel from flowing.
As long as the battery in the lawnmower is a 12 Volt battery you will be fine.

To drain gas from a John Deere riding lawnmower, first ensure the engine is off and cool. Locate the fuel line, typically a rubber hose connected to the fuel tank, and use pliers to pinch it closed. Place a container underneath the fuel line and carefully disconnect it to allow the gas to flow out. Alternatively, you can use a siphon pump to safely remove the fuel from the tank. Remember to dispose of the gas properly according to local regulations.
