I have a 2008 Grasshopper Model 124 that is powered by a B/S Intek 24 HP engine. While mowing today it just stopped dead like the key was shut off. The engine will not crank. All fuses check out okay visually and with an Ohm meter. I have 12.57 volts at the battery. When I turn the key I get a load "clunk". That's it, just one clunk. The starter will not even twitch. Not sure where the "clunk" sound is coming from but am assuming the starter area. The positive battery cable goes to a solenoid switch and then to the starter. At the battery post on the solenoid I have 12.57 volts. From the 2nd post that goes to the starter I have 0 volts when turning the key or not. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Addendum...if the solenoid switch was bad would that stop the engine in it's tracks?
