The safety switch connected to the blade engagment lever is stuck in the open position,not letting the engine to turn over and start. Would like to locate the switch and either replace it or by pass it.
Mike, see if this looks familiar. It’s the diagram for the 425007x92A from Murray. It might help you to find where the problem is.
UPDATE Mike, try to wire your ignition directly without any of the accessories and see what you get. That way you know that the error is in some other circuit.
Mike, I’ll just go purely off my circuitry knowledge here, sorry I cant seem to find too much pertinent information in research because we are lacking model numbers. 1st off, you found the safety switch under the seat right? Safety switches for riding lawn mowers are typically nothing more than on/off plunger switches. When no one is on the seat the plunger is up and the switch is open/off. When someone is on the seat, the plunger will be pushed in and will cause the switch to become closed/on…completing the circuit. So all you have to do is connect the two wires that are plugged into the switch and you should by pass it. NOTE: The above explanation assumes a “fail-open” switch and that you need a closed circuit to run the engine. POST NOTE: Definitely don’t recommend bypassing the switch. Safety equipment is there for a reason. Odds are you could rig up a $2 radio shack switch if you’re concerned about money :)
Hy Mike. I dont know if this will help you but you can search a service manual here at http://www.allservicerepairmanuals.com. I hope this help’s you.
