Hi guys,
I guess this is the correct forum. I have a no-start issue occasionally with my 56.
Once in a while (3 or 4 times now) when I turn the key to the start position nothing happens. I can't hear well, but I don't hear anything clicking.
The battery is charged. I run about 14 volts going down the road even with the generator. I have put the charger on it to see twice now to see. It has a digital read out and shows it is fine.
When the no start happens, I set the hand brake, make sure it is in neutral, put the key in the run position, and I jump it across the solenoid with two screwdrivers and she starts fine every time.
The weird thing is it is not any set pattern or just won't start at all. It is very random. You never know.......
I assume it is either the solenoid going out or the ignition switch. Am I way off and how do I check them?
Thanks,
Brian
