I have a scag model smtc-48a serial a5405471 with a 19 HP Kawasaki engine. I just replaced the solenoid for the starter and now nothing happens when I turn the key. No clicking as the fuel solenoid was eliminated years ago. I did notice that the solenoid was hot to the touch. I disconnected the battery ground and left the trickle charger on over night as the battery voltage dropped to 11.59 volts. Next day I connected battery ground after checking wires to solenoid and the solenoid started getting hot. Did I get a bad solenoid???
