OK...so..my kids ran the tractor out of gas and then I think they ran the battery down by cranking the engine a bunch trying to restart it. It sat for a few days and now only makes a clicking or humming noise instead of turning over the engine.
The battery woudn't accept a charge with the battery cables installed. I took the battery out and fully charged it. Put it back in and only got a weird humming noise when trying to start...no more clicking. Battery connections are cleand and tight. Ground connection to engine is tight. Near as I can tell connection of red cable to starter is tight. I've tapped on the starter...and various other places while trying to start it...no joy.
Yes there is plenty of gas now...but basically can't figure out why engine won't turn over.
When putting the key to turn the "power light"...or gen light...main yellow light...only comes on very dim.
Anyone with any ideas?? Fuses seem OK...not sure how to check solenoid.
