The positive voltage can also be picked up on the solenoid terminal where the fuse connects. Make sure the green and black wire with the eyelet is well grounded. If engine doesn’t crank now, replace the solenoid.
ENGINE CRANKS BUT WON’T START Checks for electrical problems •While turning ignition switch to its first position, listen for the fuel solenoid on the carburetor to click. It must click to supply fuel to the carburetor. •Try a new spark plug. •Check for spark at plug when it is removed and the threaded end is grounded. •Unplug the six-position socket that connects engine wiring to mower wiring harness. Engine will still crank. If plug doesn’t have a spark now, ignition module is probably defective.
