Easton Rich 1,160 #1 Posted 2 hours ago This is my L-155 I bought last year in the spring. It started and ran just fine until July when I was unloading it at a show. It started and ran fine, but died and never restarted. I thought it was either the ignition or the starter. Is it this diode board? Can I delete it and add a solenoid instead?

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 12,199 #2 Posted 2 hours ago That board has nothing to do with starting. Battery charging only so the addition of a solenoid will not fix it. The magneto ignition is self powered and the wire going to the ignition switch simply grounds the magneto coil to shut it off. Adding a solenoid would remove the heavy starting load on the ignition switch and a good idea to keep the expensive switch working. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A gasoline engine needs air, fuel, compression, and ignition. Knowing what is missing will help with a diagnoses. You also mentioned that you thought it may be the starter. Are you unable to turn the engine over with the starter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
