snowhound 103 #1 Posted November 5, 2018 My 418-8 ran out of gas and when I refilled and tried starting it the starter tried to engage as soon as the key was turned to the run position. I'm guessing it is a Ignition switch problem. Please comment. snowhound Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snowhound 103 #4 Posted November 6, 2018 I have to confess the problem was me. I must have had a senior moment the sound I heard was the electric lift not the starter, I must have hit the lift switch when I got off the tractor and it didn't spring back to the off position so as soon as the key was turned to the run position the actuator started. Thanks for the information, I'll save it incase I have a real problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
