Hello,
New to the group and first time posting. After lots of research, I just bought myself a used G1900 (with only 50 hours on it). It's a 4WS with a 60" deck. I cut my 1.5 acres with it first time last night and what a treat!
The problem that I'm having is with initial start. With the brake pedal depressed and key in the glow position, I wait until the glow indicator goes out and then go to engage the starter...nothing! The guy that I bought it from says that I'm not holding the key deep enough into the glow position, but I don't think that's the case. After 10-15 attempts, bingo it fires right up. Just to be sure that I'm explaining myself correctly, the attempted starts result in nothing (no starter engagement); however when it cranks it fires off immediately.
What I did notice is that when it WILL start, I hear a click like a relay closing. Has anyone experienced this issue or have some ideas of things to check first? Many thanks in advance!
Jim
