Look along the mower's frame or back of the engine compartment to locate the solenoid. On most models, the solenoid is a cylindrical or square palm-sized black device bolted to the mower frame near the engine or bolted on at the back of the engine compartment near the battery.
Herein, where is the solenoid on a lawn mower?
The starter solenoid is a small cylinder attached to the lawn tractor's frame near the starter motor. Attached to the solenoid are two thick red wires, one from the battery and the other to the starter motor.
Similarly, it is asked, are lawn mower solenoids universal?
The universal four terminal solenoid provides superior performance and will fit most lawn and garden tractors and residential zero turn riders with 12-volt starting systems. Included with the solenoid is a grounding wire for easy installation.
Listen for the solenoid to click when the key is turned. Have a friend turn the key in the ignition to attempt to start the vehicle. Listen carefully, as you should hear a click when the starter solenoid engages. If you do not hear a click, the starter solenoid is likely not functioning properly.
