I have a Husqvarna yth18542 tractor mower that won't start. I recently had someone work on it and got it back running from sitting up last year due to me not having time to mess with it. I changed the battery out the next day and it cut off on me after a few minutes of riding around. Now when you turn the key it just clicks. I changed the fuel solenoid and starter solenoid and it still won't start. It has plenty of gas and oil, a new spark plug, fuel filter and air filter. I have now test ignition switch as well as the ignition harness for resistance and they were good. Any suggestions on what to try or test would be great.

Product #960450059
Serial #090617A002434

Sounds like a bad ground or battery connection

It finally decided to start after I turned the flywheel by hand. I tried that before but this time I used more force. But unfortunately it cut off on me after almost getting all of my back yard cut.
