I have Craftsman model 917.28927 that will not start. At first I thought it was the solenoid as there was no clicking. Replaced the solenoid and still not working. I moved on to the ignition switch. I noticed no power to the hour meter or headlights when in the "run position". I jumped from the battery to the starter and got the mower started but the hours meter/head lights still no power. I pulled the ignition switch and found no continuity from the B(battery) to the L(lights) in the run position. The starter does have continuity when turned to the switch is turned to the "start" position. I wanted to run this by you guys to make sure I have properly diagnosed this problem. I am assuming it is not starting because the switch is bad from B to L, I am guessing it must power the solenoid as well? Either way a new ignition switch should fix this I am hoping.
