Thanks josh, you saved me £100 because I was about to call someone out when I saw your video and fixed my problem this morning. Appreciate it and will buy you a pint if I meet you! Very useful videos especially for novices like me. Thanks.
Thanks for your informative video, I managed to fix my 16.5hp engine from your tutorial and saved me $200 or so from the service shop! Cheers, keep up the excellent vids.
The wire coming from your battery will have 12 volts. The other big wire going from your solenoid to your starter with only have 12 volts when you turn and hold the key in the crank position, providing your key switch and solenoid are good. If you do not have 12 volts, I would pull the little wire on the bottom left of the solenoid and test for 12 volts while holding the key in the crank position. If no volts there, it will not engage the solenoid and thus no volts on that other big wire. - Josh
hey josh, on my 4 pole solenoid, the side that connects to the battery has 12 volts, but the other big terminal is shorted to ground (thus NOT having 12v). obviously not right. any idea's?!
Great Video....Just one thing..The Small Red Wire From the battery side of the solenoid to the Amp meter and switch Must be checked as well. That is the MAIN JUICE to the ignition switch.
Is my starter bad? I have a Troy riding lawn mower with Kohlor SV720S Twin Engine. The starter engages but the then stops before engine starts. Sometimes it starts if I keep turning the ignition on and off.
