What makes the spark on that thing? It has to have points, a timer, or something of a similar nature.

I just read that you have a seat switch and a mower deck switch that both have to be working for it to turn over.

They both test out Ok.

This will have to go on the back burner for a while. My every day driver (a minivan) bit the dust. (not sure when I will have the money to fix it)
So I got my old work van out of mothballs and am driving it. I forgot about all the stuff it needed. Brakes this weekend to start.

I think maybe the new solenoid is bad. I have 12 volts on the input side but with the key on I have nothing on the output side. Like Chris said, I think the only power going through it is through the little wire. It has to be either the solenoid or the ignition.

I think a suburu STI engine swap is in order.

That would be fun to ride.

That expensive stuff that few mechanics can fix should be avoided. That sled needs a four cylinder Chevy 2 engine. Totally reliable, used in cars boats, and numbers applications. Besides they sound good with headers.

Put another new solenoid on, still just clicks.

Just a dumb question..... Is the battery charged?

Just a dumb question..... Is the battery charged?

New battery and fully charged. I can run a jumper cable from the battery to the starter and spin the motor fast. Jut something bad in-between. If I can find a number on it, I am going to buy a new ignition switch.

 

[Rusty]

Had to postpone working on it. Either rain or 100 degrees every day.

 

[Chris]

Better than rain in 100 degree temps. We call that Florida.

I hope to resume this project before long. Cooler weather on the way.(I hope)

 

[Chris]

Did the weather cool down for you yet?
