I need help please. My Hustler XR-7 won't start. Here's the deal: Over the past few months it got to where I would have to cycle the blade engage switch up and back down in order to get the starter to engage. Once, the starter engaged, the mower started and operated normally. Then it got to where I would have to cycle the blade engage switch up and down several times to get it to start. Recently it takes about 60 secs of moving the blade engage switch up and down until the starter decides to engage. Sometimes longer.
I can hear a solenoid or relay clicking when I cycle the blade engage switch. Somewhere down on the engine. I'm thinking that whatever tells the starter that the blade switch is disengaged is failing or not grounded properly. Early in this process, I replaced the Blade engage switch and it changed nothing.
Can anyone tell me how to proceed?
Thanks,
Joe
