horse junkie 18 #1 Posted July 16, 2012 Just put a good K301 on my C120 with new solenoid and new starter have juice everywhere it is need when key is turned but I have nothing from starter. Tried different starter and different solenoid, even put brand new ignition switch in from my other C120 still nothing any help will be greatly appreciated.

joel_400 59 #4 Posted July 16, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
horse junkie 18 #5 Posted July 16, 2012 Grounded block to tractor and we have ignition not that I understand that block should already be grounded being bolted to frame. Any input? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,162 #6 Posted July 17, 2012 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: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
