x1957x Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I have a Husky 15.5 Heavy Duty rider (Little older maybe 12 years??),, that when i turn the key the lights dont come on or it will not start. Things I checked and replaced.}}} Battery is good, changed the cylinoid, and changed the starter switch. I Can jump the cylinoid with a screw driver and it will start. Last year there was a few times like i had to pop out the clutch to get it to start, like is there a safety switch etc? Any help is appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks If you can jump the solenoid I would imagine it isnt a saftey switch. I had a bloody year long battle last year with a murray, and found its almost always a ground. In your case if your jumping the solenoid it almost sounds like that could be bad too. gunner55 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One on the seat and one on the clutch (probably others) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x1957x Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 i put in a push button switch and worked great. Now he has an issue that when he trys to start it, it turns over for a second and stops. If he turns the fly wheel it turns over again for a bit and stops. Any Ideas?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I will take a couple of guesses. First guess is a weak battery without enough oomph to kick the engine over TDC and produce a spark. Other possibility would be a feeble starter, worn brushes etc. I guess solenoid could be bad also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
