I used my A to mow with a couple of weeks ago. Had no problems. Well, went to start it up today & NOTHING. Completely dead! Tested battery & it was fine. Where do I begin trouble-shooting from here. Thanks

try you're battery terminals and ground wire to see if there is any loose connections

Clean all battery connections until shiny and that includes the surface where the battery is grounded. Then make sure they're tight. Any rust or paint where the battery is grounded are very good insulators. Then see if the engine
crank over with the starter & start. Hal

I'm sure your smarter than I am so you wouldn't have done what I'm going to say next.
Every now and then when I go to start my A I get nothing. Once or twice I've had the battery half disconnected to clean it up and realized that I had the kill switch down.

Are you sure the starter isnt stuck just loosen the mounting bolts and wiggle the starter you mite hear the bendix click.

Thanks for the suggestion & help gene! It was a stuck starter. Sure glad I tried this first, instead of going thru all my wires. Seems like most times something is wrong, it has NOTHING to do with the wiring or bad connections.
