Disconnect the solenoid wire, turn the bowl counter clockwise. No tools are needed.
i need to see belt digram for a 4518 honda riding mower
Does all depend on what brand engine....
You may have a hot wire grounding out somewhere
Use a screwdriver, pliers or wire and touch both posts at the same time
Bypass the switch with a jumper & see if you can bump it with a hot wire.
yes run wire from ignition coil to bottom of seat use spings or whatever you not to make the wire ground to the seat pan when rider exits the mower this will automatically shut the engine down when rider falls off to save yourself some time and cash just go and find a 2 wire seat switch off of an old riding mower and run one end of wire to coil and the other to common ground
ck at the solenoid white wire should read 12 volts.If not one of the safety switches are open.
how to replace plug wire on a toro mower
The fuse for a craftsman tractor is located at the back of the ignition switch on a lead or wire,it carries a 20 amp. fuse.
The solenoid will have two big posts and one or two small posts. Mark and remove the wires from the small posts. If you have one small post you can hook up a jumper wire from the + side of the battery to the small post and it should make the starter crank over. If it has two small posts hook one jumper from the + side of the battery to one of the small posts and another jumper from the - side of the battery to the other small post. If it is OK it will engage the starter. If you get nothing then the solenoid is bad.
There is a yellow wire under the seat on my 14.5 HP Murray 42'' deck mower, and plug it in or don't that's where all killswitches are on a Murray lawnmower and pretty sure they still are today.
