When I turn the ignition key nothing happens. I have replaced the battery and the solenoid. I can start by shorting the solenoid and it runs fine. I have checked the cutoff switches and they look ok.(it wouldnt keep running if they werent). There is no reading to the earth connection to the solenoid when ignition on. Someone suggested the fuse. Is that possible if the mower runs. Where is the fuse? Any other suggestions.
