Simplicity Zero Turn 16HP Hydro Model #1693473

My Simplicity zero turn 16 HP hydro lawn mower will start when my foot is applying pressure on the brake pedal, but when I release my foot from the brake pedal, it turns off. I checked the safety switch and it works. I don't know what happened, it ran well the other day but suddenly it doesn't work. Can someone tell me what might have happened and where on the machine it could have happened? Thank you very much.

Do you have a seat safety switch? That may be the one that's not working.

Push the connector tighter on to the seat switch and see if your problems go away.

Excell 2500 powerwasher

I had to replace the cam pulley on my Excell XR2500 Honda GC160 engine, I also had to split the block as the exhaust valve came loose and logged itself in cylinder, to do that I needed to remove the water pump. The engine runs great without the pump installed but when I reinstall the pump I cannot pull the starter rope at all. The engine seems to be seized so I took the pump off and started the engine with no problem, any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks larenzoRead More

John Deere SB14 no spark

I have an old green John Deere SB14 that has no spark. Kawasaki engine FB460V-RS01 It was probably manufactured in the 70s. I'm guessing it would be either the coil or the trigger. How can I test the trigger and the coil to see which one is at fault? I can't buy the parts direct from Kawasaki, because it's a John Deere mower. And of course John Deere wants a lot of $$$ for their parts. The John Deere part number for the coil is AM116375 and the trigger is M131992.Read More
