Why can,t I get power to starter on 24 h.p. hasqvarna

You can try tapping on the starter motor with a blunt object while some one holds the key in the crank position. If it turns over during this procedure, starter replacement will be required. If nothing happens during this procedure, you will need to check the small "start" wire attached to the starter for power while the key is held in the crank position. If there is power and the starter motor is inoperative, the starter is defective. If no power, possible relay/wiring to starter motor

Depends. When you turn the key to start, the only thing that has power is the outside lights and the starter relay. In the on position everything but the starter should have power. So that will have to be sorted out. If some things are dead with the key on, either you have lost power between the battery and the fuse box, or the key switch is faulty.

Sorry to say that what you started with was probably a simple solution. The scenario of ignition on, turn to start position, get a click and nothing else, then next time it starts OK.... Usually means that there is a simple fault, either with the starter solenoid (A little switch that controls a bigger switch for the starter motor) sticking or failing, or a poor connection of the power lead to the starter motor. If you can get yourself back to taht position, I would suggest that you check the connection on the starter motor and the solenoid.

It soulds like when you started pulling wires off you shorted the starter motor feed to the positive on the battery and caused it to engage the starter motor.

I don't want to sound patronising here, but your description of what happens strongly suggests that you don't really have an understanding of how these things work and you are at risk of making the problem far far worse. If you can't get back to the position where you just have the original problem so you can check for a poor connection or a failed solenoid, I really would call on someone who knows exactly what they're doing.

Hi and welcome to FixYa!

There are two things that can cause a no start issue. A faulty battery and a worn out starter. As a first course of action I strongly suggest that you charge your battery for if it's weak it won't have enough power to push the starter.

If charging the battery still doesn't resolve the problem then the problem will be the starter itself. Starter replacement is surely recommended.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa!

your starter needs replacing not to hard of a job to do yourself

It sounds like either the battery has failed and no longer has enough power in it or else the battery ground wire, or power wire have become disconnected, the easiest way totest the battery is to run jumpers from the battery posts to the headlights (it does not matter which wire connects where as long as all other wires are removed from the lights)and see if the light, light up and if so how bright, if it does not the battery is not holding a charge and will have to be tested to find out if it is bad or the charging system on the tractor is bad, If they light then the next thing is to connect jumper cables from the battery to the starter solonoid and ground, following color code (positive to positive, negative to negative)and then try to start it, if it does there is a break or something is disconnected between the battery and the starter solonoid. If it does not start then most likely the starter is in need of replacement. Hope This Helps Don

check the ground to the engine, make sure the terminals are clean and tight on the starter and on the battery and have the battery tested.
24 months ago for a rebuilt starter is about the lifetime you could expect.
Did u change the battery cos' it was getting harder to turn the engine?
If the starter gets lazy (often a loss of windings due to varnish degradation) and hence a drop in power when activated. This wears batteries out and eventually the starter will fail. A lazy starter has that labored wuh wuh wuh sound instead of a faster regular sound
If you odnt find bad cables replace the starter.

hi if the lights are working and don,t go dim when you try to turn it over it suggusts the battery should have enough to start it so the problem lies either faulty starter [test by making a make shift wire from the live terminal on your battery to the starter small wired terminal remove the wire first] this should operate the starter if so you need to find the starter relay and listen to see if it clicks when you turn the starter key it should if it does nt check the ignition switch by lowering the cowel to gain access to the switchs wiring find the wire that goes live only when the key is in the start position if thats there then the switch is ok obviousley if none as the things mentioned don,t do as stated they are faulty a bad ground connection on the engine or the battery will cause the same problem just clean them up yates210456

the clicking sound is the starter solenoid. if the solenoid is defective, the car would not turn.

the contacts of the solenoids are already worn out.

either replace just the solenoid or the whole starter.



tnx 4 using fixya,
