Nice Job !

[@wickedrepairs8527]

Thank you. I appreciate that!

[@roberthollinger3184]

Hey there I have the same tractor with the same issues. However, when I took it apart one of the control rods was disconnected at the controller. I'm not sure if I lost a part and not knowing where this rod attaches too. If possible if you have some explanation or a picture of the throttle and choke rod assembly It would be greatly appreciated.

I have same tractor with same issues. However, when I took it apart the throttle rod was disconnected. Not sure where it connects to on the assembly ?

[@wickedrepairs8527]

I will have to take a look and recheck for myself 😆 can't think of how to explain it off the top of my head.

[@roberthollinger3184]

Ok thanks, It's unbelievable can't find anything and what sucks is my tractor won't run right until the rod is connected

[@roberthollinger3184]

I'm thinking maybe a part fell off ?

[@wickedrepairs8527]

@roberthollinger3184 yeah they definitely need that attached for throttle and governor opening.

Does the ground wire for the solinoid not need to be attached to anything? I am having the same issues with my XT1

[@wickedrepairs8527]

So there is 3 wires to the solenoid. Black, green, and red. The green wire is the only one that is not used, it should be wire tied to the others as part of the harness. I'm sure it used for something on a different model and they use the same harness to save cost. The red and black should be connected. With 2 wires, it's simple and when the key is turned on, the ground (black) wire is grounded to the chassis and completes the circuit and the solenoid should open. You should hear it click also. If it doesn't open, there is either a connection issue, wire issue (specifically), or a solenoid issue.
