Model lz26kc72

Started last week... does not start today. turn the key you can hear the fuel solenoid and see the red light on the dash is on.. turn the key to start and nothing.. battery is charged and connections are clean and tight... break is on and pto is off.. arms are extended...

Any ideas.. thanks

I had my son sit on the seat, break on, pto off, arms extended key on.. and I jumped the solenoid .... it started...
now the problem is it wont stay running as it should unmanned... break on, pto off arms extended..
so the problem must be one of the two safety switches..break switch or the seat switch..
I will try the break switch first.. $14... the seat switch is $7.41..

I will update my post next week.
