Gravely Compact Pro 34-CE, diode function?

Mkala said:

Hello,

We can find any substitute diode for sure here in Europe

Can you post a picture of diode with all ref ? Or a schematic ?
Those diodes are useful for sure. Otherwise they would have just put a wire, it's cheaper

Hi,

for what purpose there are two diodes 8A, attached to the safety switches in my Gravely? Those seems to be the problem, that the Kawasaki engine does not start. If I connect them directly with a jumper, the engine starts fine.

The problem is, that I cannot find those diodes from France, where I am located...

Any ideas?

Cut the plastic off and you will find a diode , or pair of diodes.
They will have coloured bands on them that will tell you their values.
Then go to any electronics shop & replace .
Check them first.
Diodes are a bit on the delicate side.

Exactly what I have done. Gray-black color and 8A80 UMP on it does not give any hint which one would replace it. Neither does Google...

Yes but I need to see the component itself. Or the exact schematic. Because like you I can't find anything with 8A80 UMP.
On the schematic posted I can only see a diode on the PTO clutch.
