Hey everyone,
Was mowing my yard today and my 3 year-old JD E100 mower suddenly cut off and I could smell smoke. Took a look at the engine and noticed smoke coming from the carburetor solenoid wiring when attempting to crank it. We’ve ordered a replacement part but I was wondering what could have caused this? The air filter looked pretty rough so we changed that out. We also noticed some soot-looking buildup around the wiring connector. Pic attached.
I was wondering if anyone had any input on this issue and how to prevent it?
