QuestionI have a 19.5 Craftsman Riding lawn mower for 6 years or more.. It has ran great for a while but, last week I had to replace the carburator because it wasn't pumping gas. It would run only if I added some to it by hand but soon would die.. So I knew there was a carb problem.. So, I replaced it...
Tryed to start it and it wouldn't crank...I'm like WTF...? So I thought my battery was dead.. I charged it over night and tryed the next morning.. Nothing.. I took the starter for a check..It turns out it is good...
I started to look at the starter.. I took it off...inspected it and nothing looked out of the ordinary.. No burnt smell on it...It looks good..
At this point I see that there is a red cable coming from the key switch.going into what looks like a selinoid from an old Chevy.. it goes from it to the battery..
So, I figgure I try and crank it by putting the key forward press the clutch and put a screw driver to both cable ends at the selinoid....just like I used to start my old Chevy.. and what would you know it cranks..
I add a little fuel to the carb and crank it again..and walla...IT starts running and idles nicely...
My question is.. I can't find the part number for this selinoid anywhere..here
