I need help with a WE261. I am trying to do some trouble shooting for a neighbor. This is their mower.
Here is the situation:
The mower will not start and run using the key start or pull start as it should. The key start will crank the starter but the mower will not run. The pull start just spins the engine. It will not start it.The only way I can start it and keep it running is to disconnect the white striped black wire and use the pull start (I suppose the white striped black wire has something it do with the safety switches). After making that disconnection, I use the pull start and run the mower will run as long as needed. Once running the only way to shut the mower off is to reconnect the white striped black wire. It doesn’t matter in what position the key is in.
This is what has been done so far:
The fuses have been checked and they are all ok. The three safety switches have been checked, two have been replaced - the third checked out ok. I know the ignition switch works because it will crank the starter.
I would like to get the mower to start, run and shut off the way it should. I need help. Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks
