Hello all,

My Fastrack mower started off by not wanting to turnover unless I turned the key "on/off" several times. This grew longer and longer until it would not start at all. I replaced the switch thinking the problem was there. Nope. I can start it by jumping the starter solenoid, with the key in the on position. I have checked the switches for the arms and the seat. I have also replaced the starter solenoid and it still won't start by the key.

Any thought??

Thanks

Have you done the starter relay kit?

That did the trick. I never even noticed the two relays. Plugged in and it started right up.

Thanks

Excellent ....:thumbsup:

Having the same problem. Replaced solenoid and switch. Where is the starter relays located? checked all safety switches and they work.

Puzzling????
Mower is Fastrak Hustler

Could you (or someone ) be more specific as to what exactly is the "starter relay kit" ?

Is it something that can only be a direct purchase from Hustler Corp.?.....authorize dealer?....etc.

Any info about the kit from Hustler Corp such as a "manual change" or "manual revision"....etc.

What does the kit consist of?

What is the cost?

Thanks in advance for any info provided.

Don't care how old the thread is, just want info as to exactly what that individual was describing.

As far as having a problem, well it's not a really a major problem, just happen to me once and hasn't happened again. Still though I like to keep informed about all possibilities on "any problem" associated with a Hustler mower.

And yes, I've since searched the internet specifically about a "starter relay kit" for more info.

Please get rid of this nonsense so he can go yack off somewhere else.

Ill second this motion. This a "Hussum?" guy is annoying with his spam!

I am trying to test the starter relay. Can anyone tell me how many amps it takes for the relay to engage? Thanks

How do you know which relays the one for the starter out of the two? Also I got a wire push button starter switch replaced all the relays the solenoid the battery safety switches and still hasn't fixed it I just want bypass all that crap and put a easy switch how to do that

There is a good reason for "all that crap " to be there and if you do not have enough understanding to follow a circuit diagram to bypass them then you are the very person that the stuff was fitted to protect .
The only modification I have ever needed to do to the wiring on a ZTR was to put a screw into the end of the seat switch to desensitize it so it did not cut the engine when the owner was driving way too fast over rough ground.
Most companies realised this was a problem so the better quality ones put a delay on the seat switch.
