I have a Husqvarna zero turn mower that won't start...it just makes a clicking noise. It has less than 15 hrs usage, but has been sitting for over a year. Would this be a problem with the ignition or the starter? Thank
Usually if all you hear is a clicking noise, it is the solenoid itself that has gone bad...if you can jump the solenoid and the mower turns over, it is the solenoid.
Use a screwdriver to connect both terminals on the solenoid, if a screwdriver is not available, use anything that has an insulated grip.
I struggled with the same problem intermittently for years on a different Husqvarna tractor, and replaced most of the electrical system including the starter, solenoid, battery, and safety switches. Finally solved it. The grounding cable from the battery to the frame is attached using a bolt threaded into a hole in the frame with no nut. It had come loose. Tightening it fixed the problem temporarily, but it came loose again. Finally replaced the OEM bolt with a new bolt, lock washers and nut. Please note that the bolt for the grounding cable was most easily accessed after removing the battery and battery tray. I also found a similar problem with a thinner grounding wire that attaches to the frame on the left side below the oil fill tube on my tractor.

Battery is good. Sometimes after I try and try to start without it turning over, I let it sit for a1/2hr it turns right over and starts.
