The engine does not turn over:
When key switch is turned to the start position battery voltage is sent to the starter through the key switch and then the solenoid. If the battery is weak it will not have enough voltage to engage the solenoid or turn over the starter motor.

Check the battery for adequate voltage, voltage should be no less than 12 volts DC.

If the battery voltage checks good the next possible issue is the main 20A fuse. The fuse is located under the dash on most tractors. When this fuse blows it severs the connection of the battery to the tractor.
If further assistance is needed, we recommend you contact your nearest authorized service center

Why will my Husqvarna lawn mower not start?

The carburetor might be clogged. A clogged carburetor is most commonly caused by leaving fuel in the lawn mower for a long period of time. ... This sticky fuel can clog up the carburetor and prevent the engine from starting. If the carburetor is clogged, try cleaning it with carburetor cleaner.

How do I know if the solenoid is bad on my lawn tractor?

First, turn the ignition key to the "On" position. Look for the large terminal posts on the solenoid where the thick red wires connect to the solenoid. 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.

How do you know if the ignition switch is bad on a lawn mower?

To check your ignition switch, you can use an ohmmeter to see if there is any connection between the "S" and "B" terminals. If there isn't any, the ignition switch is your problem and you will need to replace it to get your mower running properly again.

Check to ensure that there is fresh, clean fuel in the fuel tank. Also check the fuel filter, because a clogged fuel filter will prevent the engine from obtaining adequate fuel supply. Check the air filter to ensure that it is not clogged or dirty. ... If the engine has been started the choke needs to be off.

Why will my lawn mower not turn over?

Your Mower Won't Start:

Other possible causes include: Loose, Dirty or Disconnected Spark Plug in Your Lawn Mower: Check it out, clean off debris, re-connect and tighten. Dirty Air Filter: Clean or replace. Fuel Not Reaching the Engine: Tap the side of the carburetor to help the flow of gas.

Where is the fuse on a Husqvarna riding mower?
