So here is what I have going on.
SFZ48-26BS, sometimes it will just click (not turn over) when you go to start it. Most of the time you let go of the key, try again and it start just fine. This is an on, again off again issue. It doesn't always exist. What does exist ALL the time is is it will not start on its own when hot. Let's say you mow for 20 minutes then shut it down. You get nothing when you turn the key no click, no crank. It's like it's not engaging the starter at all...but here is the kicker, if you hook it up to a jump box or jumper cables, it will fire right up when hot and not hesitate or miss a beat...I'm at a loss, I would say starter, but it will start will extra voltage. It runs fine when it's hot, you just can't start it hot. I also don't know if the hesitation to start when cold is related or not to the hot start issue.
I'm thinking the hard start when cold issue is the starter solenoid but I'm not sure. I've also heard that not starting when hot could be a coil issue as the coil could have too much resistance when hot to fire the plug, but it runs great when hot, it just doesn't like to start...Thoughts on any of this?
Thanks,
Dan
