First of all, thanks for the quick replies Bruce and Joe. Replying and 10pm and 5:30am is truly going beyond the call and it is much appreciated believe me. Also sorry to hear your B&S died, but I�m sure it put in a few years of loyal service before it did if the anecdotes are true.
Can I start by asking how close similar models manuals are (8-30E ) when it comes to the electrics? I noticed one the subscription section and have printed it out.
I checked the mower this morning and if it ever had safety switches like Ref No.7 (8-30E ) in the first diagram they have already been removed (not even leftover seat switch elecs). There is, however, a module between the ignition and the solenoid (on the 12 V feed Joe was talking about) that I have bypassed but still no dice. Looked for the ignition fuse and have not been able to find it yet (if it is there at all).
Next, attempted to connect directly to the 12v feed as Joe suggested and got an initial �clinck� to my joy. Alas, have not been able to replicate that sound on subsequent goes. Will leave it and try tonight.
Additional information I found if it helps: syncro balanced, elec start, 319 cc, 3600 rpm, series 0.
Kind regards,
Sol.
