Question
how do i by pass safty switches and hot wire my 1991 craftman riding lawn mower? I'm trying to trace which one is bad. I've checked the battery, starter
and selinod but stii cant get juice to the starter  

Answer
Hi Don,

Sorry for my delay.

If the switch is normally closed to allow ignition, jump the 2 wires together with an allegator clipped test wire.

If it is normally open, then disconnect the stitch and leave the wires loose.

Let me know how you make out.
