John, I hope you are alive and well and read this because this video was absolutely amazing and spot on with what I kept asking myself "why does it turn over for a full two seconds and then just stop instantly and not crank". Tractor would do this every try after I would wait a few minutes. I spent hours googling, watching you tube and troubleshooting and they just did not add up to the issue I was having. Followed your awesome directions and it fired right up. I never saw this part mentioned anywhere else as something to look into. I subscribed to your channel to see what other fixes you may have out there. Thanks so much...its been a long day but, at least I can mow my yard now.

Changed air filter, oil, oil filter, spark plug, fuel filter.... and then did THIS. AND IT WORKED. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I was having the same problem and had it narrowed down to this component but cutting the pin off solved the problem without having to buy a new one. As a note to others, there is a small copper washer that needs to go back on to prevent a gas leak, so be careful not to lose it when you remove this part. Thanks for the tip John!

Amazing video. Was pulling my hair out doing all the normal things, checked fuel filter changed plug replaced ignition coil. This was it the whole time. Started right up thanks so much

I want you to know you saved me some heartache and pain also a lot of time as my mower is still under warranty repair shop said they would not get to for 4 weeks. Modified the fuel solinoid and the mower is back in business! You are the man! I hope you get a lot more subscribers as you deserve it💵

After 2 days of messing with my mower and a lot of cussing, tried what you did and it solved it. I could not thank you enough. 🙌

[marvels]

I never leave comments, but this one is well deserved. I changed the spark plug, installed new push rods, adjusted the valves, new oil and filter, and new battery. Gave this a try and it cranked up and started after 3 seconds because the gas had drained out. next start cranked once and started with zero problems. Thanks for the video and the knowledge!!! very much appreciated!!!

[annethompson]

My husband tried all the obvious things to fix ours and we are so grateful for your video. Worked exactly like you said!!

[davidbrant]

This was the problem I had. After a few hours of taking the carb off and cleaning it multiple times, getting covered in fuel, still no luck. Would turn over, but not fire. Watched this video, and literally 6 minutes later it runs great. Thanks!

John Sellers,
THANK YOU for sharing you experience and saving so many of US so many headaches

I've just followed your instructions and my 4 year old Husv. is working like new again.

May the LORD bless your journey and your day. :) :)

Thank you again for your very giving attitude and GRAND explanation with LOT"S of video.

respectfully,
your new OLD carpenter friend :)

I pulled my fuel solenoid and tested it and it seemed to be working. I went to Lowes and purchased hex nut m8-1.0 and hex cap screws m8-1.0 x12 and made a plug to plug hole. Mower fired right up. Even though fuel solenoid acts like it’s working doesn’t mean it’s not faulty. Thanks for your post, my friend.

[lauraholton]

I hardly ever leave comments, but you saved us a ton of time trying to get it start. We cut that piece off and it was fixed immediately! Thanks so much!

My Husqvarna died on me today for the first time in 12 long years! This video was the FIRST that came up for my model number, and from the time I clicked on the link, til the time I was cutting grass again, was about 10-15 minutes; Thanks John for the solution!! I just used a cutting disk on my dewalt grinder and cut the top quarter inch off the pin, replaced the copper washer, and screwed it back on with a 12mm open ended box wrench.

[smitcc]

THANK YOU! Can't believe that just worked. I have the same exact ride on mower and it was doing the same thing you described in the video. I first thought it was just a spark plug since it had been awhile since I last changed it. Nope, it was that little "doo-hickey" causing the problem. So grateful for people like you that post videos to help others. Thanks again!

Got a Husqvarna riding mower 2years ago. Past Saturday just stopped running. Knew getting gas to carb. an spark plugs firing. Seen video, tried switch, no click, took solenoid off an cut stem off, runs like charm. Thanks so much for video, saved me money!!!

[haftusa]

Thank you thank you. I purchased part on Amazon $14 next day delivery.

When I went to local repair shop they said most likely not the problem. WRONG!
Your a genius! Great advise. Thanks again!

[nickthestick]

This saved me so much time and money. Thank you! My mower fired right up after removing that pin!

[nickgalentin]

You're a lifesaver! I went the magnet route, put 4 neodymium disc magnets from menards on the bottom and mower is running like it is brand new! $17. Added bonus is thati now have a perfect anti theft device when i stop mowing and move magnets to the oil filter next door.
Thank you!!!

THANK YOU!!! YOU JUST SAVED ME $$$$! I was cutting grass and mower suddenly shut off. Couldn’t restart. After cleaning carb it wouldn’t start. I did what u did and ding ding, started right up. However, when i plugged the solenoid wires back in, they started burning, melting and smoking. I unplugged solenoid and so far it starts and runs like before. I’m no mechanic, but I’m pretty sure the wires don’t need to be reconnected since that part now serves no purpose to the mower.
