Hi everyone

 

Got an issue with my 523dxi (which has been awesome up til now).  It wont start.  it simply clicks when I try to start it.  I'm assuming it's a solenoid (aren't there two on this mower?).  

 

Any help gratefully received.

 

the battery is fully charged, it's been well serviced and looked after (by me - can't comment on previous owners).

 

Help! :)

 

Ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer them.

 

It's all original by the way - build date for the mower is mid 1999.

 

Thanks

These detailed wiring diagrams have one for each circuit. Makes it easier to diagnose a problem

I would try another battery. If not that check the ignition switch. Then the fuel shutoff.

Evening fellas- just to close this one out.  Following some advice above I decided to see if I could jump start tractor.  and with that extra help she started fine.  so it's the battery.  new one being ordered and all is well with the world again......next job is to repair the mowing deck as it's split (and been badly repaired.).

 

Although the battery was showing 12v it clearly had had enough - it couldn't crank the motor any more.

 

Thanks once again, Rhyd
