turned it off wile mowing now start wont crank.
if i set the brake, move the arms to idle, and with no one in the seat, turn the key to run, and then jump the battery to the small wire on the starter it will crank and start up, but it will not start up via the key switch. i tested the key switch, it seems to be ok. i think the starter is inhibited or there is a relay to send power to the small wire on the starter that i do not see. how does 12 volts get to the small starter wire, this has a computer on the engine, is the computer sending the 12 volts via the key ?
