Question:Dear Answer Army,
I have a Weed Eater One 26" riding mower that has been very dependable until last week. The battery is okay and it cranks like usual, but will not fire/start. Trying the, pull starter rope, was not successful. Since it was okay last week I am hoping it might be a sensor or connection problem. I have gone through the manual, with no luck, trying to solve the no-start problem. Based on your experience, could give me some logical steps of things to check next? Bringing it to a dealer is not an option for me. Please help...
Sincerely,
Mike
Details:
I serviced the mower 2 months ago. Changed the oil, new spark plug and checked the air filter. No problems starting at that time.

Answer
i think you have an electrical safety switch problem. to find out, disconnect the black wire with a white tracer stripe from the engine. see if the engine will start. if it does you have to reconnect the wire and stop the engine with the ignition key. if the engine starts you have to find the defective switch. with the ignition swich
on , but the engine not running, use a meter to see what safety switch is grounding by diconnecting one swich at a time.
the electrical diagram can be found on google by weedeater we261 electrical diagram
good luck
