Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Garden Tractor just click, wont start, soleniod, tractor model


Question
I have a craftman garden tractor, model # 917-276380 it was working fine and now it won't start. when I turn the key on all I hear is a click. I had the battery checked,it checked out okay, and that's as far as i have got troubleshooting. Any suggestions?

Thanks.


Answer
 Hello Rick:

 Jumper From the Battery in the Mower Straight to the Starter. Does the Starter Turn Properly? If Yes, then Place your Finger on the Top of the Starter Soleniod and Turn the Key. Is the Click from the Soleniod? If Yes, then Replace the Soleniod. Hope this Helps. Let me know what Happens, Please.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully
