Husqvarna won't start

9 years ago

I have a Husqvarna Z254 and it just clicks when I try to start it. One click. I disabled the seat switch just to take that out of the equation. I have a brand new battery and checks out at 12+V. It is a fairly new machine so no corrosion on anything and connections are all tight. There is power to solenoid and from battery to starter. What other tests can I do?

Is the one click coming from the solenoid? If your solenoid clicks, the safeties are on line and you have power when the switch is activated. Are we sure that new battery is good? Had it load tested or use another known good battery? Can you turn the engine by hand via the screen on top of the flywheel?

I finally got it started. It was the solenoid. I had to bypass it with a screwdriver across the posts to get it started.
