SCAG Tiger Cub
Model: STC52A-23KA
S/N: 6620181
Engine S/N: FH680VA18621
Engine Spec #: FH680V-AS12
First off I need to say that I have the owners manual for my SCAG and I have viewed the wiring diagram.
The other day the starter on my mower quit working so I checked all of the safety switches (Handles, brake, seat) and they all checked out ok. I checked the two 20 AMP Fuses and they were fine, I checked the battery, it had 100% charge and had just been replaced 3 weeks earlier anyway. I then checked out the PTO Switch based off of a video I watched on youtube and it checked out ok. I then did the same thing for the ignition switch and it checked out ok. I replaced the starter relay because it didn't seem to be working perfectly every time which I had noticed before when I had to turn the key a couple of times to get the mower to crank. The starter then engaged fine a few times then wouldn't engage at all even though I could hear the relay clicking. Then the PTO swtich would not cause the clutch to engage and after about 2 minutes of snapping it back and forth the clutch engaged then disengaged and I was able to crank the mower. At this point I'm still thinking something isnt right but I decide to mow the grass because rain was moving in the next day. So I'm mowing along for about 2 minutes and then the clutch disengages then re-engages and repeats a couple of times until the mower quits. I try to crank the mower but the PTO Switch has no effect on the clutch and the mower will not crank. I then continued trying the PTO switch until it finally disengaged the clutch and I cranked the mower. I then attempted to mow again but it disengaged and re-engaged the clutch again until the mower started to die. I immediately disengaged the clutch manually and the mower ran fine for a good 5 minutes until I engaged the clutch and then the going dead and disengaging and re-engaging of the clutch started all over again. I pulled the mower into the garage, checked the fuses and the battery and all was good. Anyone have any ideas on what could cause this because I am stumped?
