all right I got it off the trailer let the games begin well I've got the
deck off I've got the battery charging I don't know I actually put this battery
on last night and it's just now got the 99% it was
that it wasn't registering last night so normally when batteries go completely
zero dead there's no bringing them back but we'll see that this will hold a
charge just long enough for me to do some testing for me to determine whether
it's worth me spending more money on a battery all on though in the an hour so
now this does not have a low pressure oil switch the seat switch right here is
working watch that watch how that works when you're in the seat those two
contacts come apart when you get off the seat it grounds it out and it's shuts
the ignition off the ignition coil stops the spark that's okay the we see down
here you see with that brake hitch that yellow plunger right there all right I'm
gonna seal end point to it see that gray looking plunger right
there when you press the brake it presses that plunger and that is a
safety switch underneath there and it screwed in from the bottom so I'm gonna
get under there and see if I get to it and take it out and test it that's the
next thing I'm gonna try man you would not believe what it took to get this
switch out of there there's a plate under there that all this and the
steering gear that goes down through there and the tie rods they're all
connected to this plate and you gotta drop that plate to get to this now fix
it unplug it and take it in there to my tester and we'll see if it's working and
my battery is 100% so uh any minute now I'll be plugging to the end all right
I'm gonna try to keep this right here so you can see what I'm doing okay we're
gonna see if this thing is working this this is the safety switch on the brake
pedal and I'll put this over here so you can hear it maybe let me look in there
all right there we go
so that sides working now we're going to try the other side and it won't work too
light depress the plunger so I'm going to connect these and I'm going to push
down on this so the plunger will go in
so this safety switch is working the seat safety switch is working this is
working my next guess would be PTO switches is sending power to the PTO so
I'm going to disconnect the PTO and put that battery in there and see if I can
get some some crank egde out of it I'm gonna put this back on okay I got a I'm
gonna tell you what it did but first I'm gonna show you this this thing okay
that's that's voltage 235 hours that's not that okay watch this alright that's
all I'm gonna do because I'm gonna drain this gas out of here and let me come
over here what it here and I'll tell you why I did
I have completely bypassed that safety switch and I'll tell you why the brake
pedal here's why this thing wasn't working the brake pedal wasn't pushing
this thing in all the way it was only getting it in about that far well with
me playing with this and I pushed it in about thirty times to try to get this
thing to work and this is before I showed me testing it so I'm 100% certain
this was not making contact until I started messing with it and playing with
it and pressing this plunger in and out so I do not want to put this in I'm
gonna leave it out I'm gonna I'm gonna do this upright I just did this
temporarily to see if it would turn over so that was a problem so I'm gonna do
this all up right I'm gonna drain this gas and I'm gonna drink drop the bowl in
the carburetor make sure that's not gummed up and we'll
go from there I'll be back in a minute I'll tidy this up first all right I'm
draining the gas out of it I've pulled the carburetor Bowl off and this is the
fuel solenoid which basically these eliminate are supposed to eliminate
backfires and when you turn the key off what this does is it shuts the gas off
to the carburetor so this is a real common thing that goes okay that phone
call it's a real common thing that goes wrong with these these go bad pretty
often and what happens is when you turn the key on this plunger is supposed to
come down so the carburetor can get gas and when these things go bad they stay
in there closed position and the way you check it is you ground it out against
the engine and then you reach up in you turn the key on and see if it uh if it
depresses yeah
so I'm going to put all this back together and as soon as all this gas
drains out it's almost almost drained as soon as that gas drains out I'm gonna
reconnect everything put some gas in it crank it up get it warm and probably
gonna change it all all right this hadn't been started in many years
so let's give it a shot
well now it's already worth 200 bucks I think I'm gonna bring it outside and let
it idle for 20 minutes 10 minutes and drain the oil change oil and I tell you
while I was under there I have noticed that I'm kind of had to replace the main
drive belt that goes from the engine to the transmission so I'm not even gonna
bother putting this on I got still got some work to do but I
was gonna sell this I was gonna ask for about six hundred with a bagger but my
wife has decided she wants it so you know I don't know what we're gonna do
with three lawn mowers but it's a cute little lawn mower so she wants it she
can have it but anyway I'm gonna get it roadworthy can't think of anything else
to tell you it you know just start start with all the switches that's my
troubleshooting method and that's usually what's wrong with these is a
safety switch the PTO switch is not is not signaling that it's off I mean the
switch will be off but it's stuck on the opposition and it's sending electricity
to the PTO when you turn the key and it won't start the engine
low pressure oil sensor this doesn't have one and that's pretty much it I
mean as far as electrical now you know if it's turning over then you don't have
a safety switch problem you may have a fuel problem or a spark problem but
anyway I guess that's it I'll show you this once I get it all
pretty and cleaned up and and new belts on it and new blades and stuff like that
and I'll put the bag around it just just to see how a bag of works thanks for
watching y'all
