How to Identify and Fix Common Gardening Problems ?
We provide a variety of viewpoints on how to identify and fix common gardening problems. Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced gardeners :
Touch the metal shaft of a screwdriver to both of the large terminals at the same time. If the engine turns over and starts, the solenoid is bad and should be replaced. If the starter motor does not run, the motor itself is probably defective.
Rusting, power failure, irregular pressure, missing equipment, an incorrect amount of voltage or current, dirt stuck in the system and corrosion are some of the possible reasons why a solenoid valve may not properly close or open.
When a solenoid is first energized, its coil receives a pulse of high inrush current that decreases as the plunger closes. If the plunger does not close, the high inrush current continues, which can cause the coil to overheat and burn out. This is the most common cause of solenoid failure and spotting it is easy.
When you have a bad starter solenoid, the starter motor won`t work. This means the engine won`t start when you turn on the starter switch or press the start button. However, if your vehicle has an automatic transmission, the engine could sometimes not crank because of the neutral safety switch.

What wires go where?
ANSWER : You should have a big black wire that has a red stripe going through it. This wire will go on the picture as shown to the top left terminal and travel down to the starter. You will have a big red wire and there may be a smaller red attached with it. This or these wires will go to the top right terminal. The white wire should be a small gage wire and will go on the front left terminal. There should only be one more single black wire with a female terminal on the end of it where it will plug into the front right terminal on the solenoid. The remaining black and blue should have male ends on them and discard them, they do not plug into anything.

I need the wiring diagram for the solenoid/1999 16hp hydronamic Simplicity
ANSWER : The two big terminals are one fom the battery and the other to the starter.
The two smaller ones one comes from the ignition switch and the other might just be a ground.
Test becareful is hook the battery and starter wires up; take a wire and stick one on the battery terminal and tap each of the smaller terminals; when you get a click that will and should fire the stater; make sure it is out of gear or it will start. remember that terminal and hook the ignition key to it. check the other smaller terminal is or isn’t a ground one.

Changed starter solenoid and now mower won’t start?
ANSWER : If you know for sure you got the right solenoid, installed in correctly, then my guess is you left the ground wire off, its a wire with the the end with a hole in it and it goes between the solenoid and the frame for a ground, without that there it wont start for diddly.
