Love your diagnostic there t -bone 👍

[@mountainman0004]

You may already know this T-bone - but Ariens is pronounced 'Aarons'. Love all the vids, much appreciated

[@sbuhlig]

You sir are the man. Good old "know how" being taught to the rest of us. Thank you for the lesson!

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

Hi Mr and Mrs T-Bone, great bit of detective work sorting that one out. all that space next to the battery and they put the solenoid in a place that is hard to get to 😂

[@customcutter100]

Great video, got my Gravely 460 running this morning. I was trying to diagnose the no start no click issue again for the 3rd time. Couldn't jumper the solenoid so checked the in line fuse, set and reset the parking brake for probably the 20th time this week. Checked voltage to the starter. All done previously multiple times. Everything checked ok again, so tried the key again this AM and the danged thing started. I hate intermittent problems! I'm sure it will come back again. thanks for the video

[@rayburnett3066]

If everybody would listen to you it would make it alot better for you

[@kenwinchester]

I appreciate your diagnosis abilities and have learned several things from you. Visual inspection is the top priority, but appreciate your step by step approach to determine the root cause of the problem. You are my go to guy whenever I have an outdoor gasoline engine problem. Keep the instructional videos coming and Thank You!

Thank you for watching and commenting my friend

[@santiagomontemayor48]

Your advice started my mower and even though I haven’t found the culprit, I’m able to know that it’s a safety issue of some sort and the seat sensor has corroded contacts so I’m 90% sure that’s it! Thank you!

Great video my friend I'm working on getting my shop up and running the garage cleaned up

Another great T-Bone, very informative & straight forward in your troubleshooting steps. Keep them coming my friend!

[@truepatriot8947]

Having the exact same issue. Grabbing my cables and test light now. Thanks for the tutorial.

Great video. Hard to believe how many so called technicians take the positive cable off first🤪🤪

Good morning Mr bone. What is your opinion on oils to use in your years of experience. Thank you for your channel too. I watch only Mechanics and you are one. Love the confidence you show and simple as possible explaining.....and you don't have bubba teeth!

T-bone, I have a 2017 dixie chopper zee2.

[@ronaldlight7578]

New subscriber. Ariens ikon 60. Battery, starter, solenoid good per your tests. Three small fuses good. Will turn over but not start. No clicks. Advice? Thanks, Ron

[@RaleysSmallEngines]

If it's turning over remove air cleaner and give it a shot of flammable brake cleaner or carburetor cleaner. If it runs and dies it's a fuel issue.

[@ronaldlight7578]

Will do!

[@ronaldlight7578]

Jumped it after hitting the carburetor with seafoam. Started and ran well. But it won't start via the key ignition. Bad module there?

[@Mrs.T-bone]

Load test your battery. You may have gotten a bad battery, it happens. Make sure your battery terminals are tight and corrosion free. Good luck!

[@bryannesbit7229]

I have the same issue on my Graverly ZT34 zero turn, this video has given me a lot of info on what to check. Can I use a volt meter instead of a test light? Also is there a way to disengage the hydraulics on the drive motors so I can push my mower from the front yard to my shop?

[@MermellaHome-uk6kk]

What do you recommend checking if I don’t have any power at positive when checking the starter solenoid. Engine turns over manually Ariens 52, 13 hours

[@RaleysSmallEngines]

Look at one of our Just Clicks videos. It will explain what to do

[@laurencewilliams1533]

What’s the next check if the power is not getting to solenoid? That what my problem is. Thank for the help

[@johnd.hearnjr3156]

T-bone, I have a 2017 dixie chopper zee2, recently whenever i mow the lawn and turn it off it will not restart. After it sits for a day it will start right up. Any idea what could be causing that to happen?

[@GeorgiaTexan]

Great video, but mine doesnt click it spins and makes a high pitched whine? Its like its not mating up to the starter? Thank you

[@michaelwilson5917]

Question:I tested the two prongs that go into the solenoid. Only my ground is lighting, the power side will not light-up. What would cause that?

[@RaleysSmallEngines]

1st check fuse. 2nd Check for power to ignition switch ( terminal marked B for battery). No power trace backwards towards battery. 3rd if power on "B" on ignition switch put test light on "S" terminal (parking brake set and turn key to full start position) if no power possible bad ignition switch. Please don't guess and just replace parts. Test out the problem. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. We also have videos on testing almost everything, check out our 2 Just Clicks videos.

[@RaleysSmallEngines]

Oh, is it a Toro? What mower do you have?

[@michaelwilson5917]

@@RaleysSmallEngines I have a Ariens Ikon 52

[@michaelwilson5917]

@@RaleysSmallEngines I appreciate the quick response earlier. My issue was i was not turning the key at the same time. So there is power to the solenoid. It still is not turning over. I have been working on this issue off and on for a year. Now its summer ( I teach) I have some time. I have already changed the starter before. The ignition switch has continuity on all things except for the lights ( but this model did not come with lights, so i expect that is the reason). I have only located one fuse so far.

[@philliphall5198]

The parking brake switch is the one I replace the most on this brand, located to collect dirt and water 😢😢😢

[@chrisgarland2272]

Drive me mad that they place them like that !!

[@philliphall5198]

95% of the time it’s a bad battery 😢 and good ones are high price now

[@RaleysSmallEngines]

Correct. We are an Interstate Battery dealer and our retail is $69.95 on a new mower battery

[@james1795]

​​@RaleysSmallEngines I used to believe in interstate batteries. Not so much now. And I used to put Optima batteries in all of my vehicles. Then they started making them in Mexico. Junk.

[@RaleysSmallEngines]

​@james1795 the case is made in one place, the internals somewhere else, so they told me. In 8 years selling Interstate I've never had to warranty one. I do agree, nothing is made like it use to be.

[@james1795]

@RaleysSmallEngines . There is nothing like it used to be for sure. I really enjoy your videos, keep em coming!!
