Blowing Fuzes while Growing Weeds

[Kodie's Lawn Service]

Oh and 1 more tid bit of info - that sound I spoke of, was coming from side of engine (around starter) thats why I disconnected the reg, to see if thats what I fried - No such luck

Sounds like you fried the starter :thumbdown:

That was My first thought - But it moves and turns freely - If I disconnect the main starter wire, then put a fuze in.... If fuze doesnt pop - Then that should be a indication - correct?

No not the starter because the fuse blows when key is turned to run not start

(( racing is the only sport that you need two balls ))

Great point

Go out buy a a dozen fuses

Unhook every safety switch one at a time and try it.
I bet you shorted a switch out.

I don't work in a shop bit I build and repair my own mowers. So I can tell you how I would find the problem.

You may wanna try buy an new key switch it may just be the prob

The run position on the switch is where we have to start. If you have tested the switch and it is good, the next step is to unplug the fuel solenoid and, the hour meter and the PTO switch and see if the fuse blows when you turn the key to the run position. DO NOT TRY TO START. If the fuse does not blow, we know that one of these components is causing the problem.

Find where the charging lead comes out from under the flywheel and check for continuity to ground. There should be NO continuity to ground. If there is continuity to ground, your stator or charging coil whichever it has, could be shorted. Also if there is a fuel shut-off solonoid under the carburetor bowl, check that also for a short using the diagram that applies to your mower.

Well By George - I think We have a WINNER - 1 probe on ground, and the other probe in the wire lead coming from under flywheel to regulator - and brrrrrrrrrrrrrr sound from multimeter - WE HAVE CONTINUITY ON THE STATOR - Not Open Loop as should - Thank You Cashman, wasn't for sure how to check the stator. Without just replacing it - Don't know why I didn't think of Continuity Test - DUUUUHHHHH!!!! - Had a Brain-Cramp lol
