Died on me today, turn key, lights come on, solenoid on fuel pump clicks in but nowt seems to be getting through to the starter?
Anyone any ideas?
Like all machines of a certain 'vintage' the wiring diagram bears no resemblance to the current reality

Check the parking brake safety switch perhaps? Maybe a pressure switch on the seat too?

Seems they were disconnected many moons ago

Imobilizer switch under the seat ,no somebody with an under deck model and it did the same thing

Is there a switch on the blade engagement lever? Have you checked the battery voltage and if there is power in the starter energiser wire when the key is turned?
