G'day Squizzy,
Yeah your right, that is a stop sign on the key switch. As prd stated, the mower I have at present has a different aftermarket engine.
prd. no, have not wired up that seat switch, I have to purchase another switch. The original battery is cactus, needs a new battery but don't think i'll be paying big dollars just yet for a small battery , I should be able to source one a lot less price from a battery seller.
I had a go at removing the solenoid from the Honda , I can remove one bolt. it has an 8mm head. The other bolt is hard to get at, one needs a very small handle with a 50mm 1/4" bar extension, looks like too hard basket to remove from stater motor, so I'll put the other bolt back in tomorrow.
I still have not got around to rectifying the choke.
Cheers, Bondy
