Does it have a seat switch? I have a c81 which is just a bit newer and that was my problem once. Just a thought. If not try jumping the solenoid and see what happens.

Grounded block to tractor and we have ignition not that I understand that block should already be grounded being bolted to frame. Any input?

That's just the way it goes sometimes.

The original plan of grounding the battery through the bolt under the gas tank tray wasn't the best idea. A ground cable from the battery to one of the starter mounting bolts is one of the best "modifications" you could do. An additional ground wire from the battery negative terminal to a rectifier/regulator mounting bolt is also a good idea.

I've seen a few throttle & choke cables look like electric oven elements over the years. :hide:
