PLEASE PLEASE HELP FOLKS. I was given a HUSQVARNA LTH 130 C RIDE ON - PRODUCT NUMBER 954-82-00-01...MEG ID NUMBER HE1 3H36D. When I got it the 5 spade switch was broken ( the spring starter option). It was started by turning the switch to the 2nd position then placing a wire from the positive terminal on the solenoid to the white wire terminal on the solenoid. This started it and when you turned off the switch it turned off the mower. I SHOULD HAVE LEFT IT BUT..... decided to replace the switch. I was then sent a 7 spade terminal switch from Husqvarna who insisted it was the correct one. There are 4 black wires which were already wired together in 2 pairs, One pair of black wires I connected to the G terminal on the switch, the other 2 black wires to the M terminal on the switch. The 2 black wires I have connected to the G terminal are grounded under the battery compartment along with the battery negative wire. I have connected the red wire to the B terminal, the blue wire to the L terminal and the white wire to the S terminal. The Y and A terminals are both unused.
At first the mower started great but would not switch off when I turned off the ignition. The only thing that would turn it off was by raising the mower deck lever which disconnected the black wires a the deck safety switch ?? Knowing this was wrong I then set about trying different wiring at the switch but to no avail. In the process I managed to blow the 30 amp fuse THREE TIMES before deciding to put the wiring back as described above. Now the engine turns but I have NO SPARK at the plug - even with a new plug. Could the coil have blown and if so how do I test it without any fancy tools other than a voltmeter ?? Also I am convinced the wiring through the 3 safety switches is faulty so although not recommended can someone tell me that if I put a wire directly from the S terminal on the switch to the white terminal on the solenoid, and then run a wire from the M terminal to the body. (ground) Will this bypass the safety switches and start. PLEASE PLEASE HELP GUYS. Nic, Northants, UK.
