I would like to join the chorus of thanks in these comments. You saved me a lot of trouble. My yard is an acre and I’m too old to cut the whole thing with a push mower. Thanks for helping me get my mower working.
I was having the same problem and had it narrowed down to this component but cutting the pin off solved the problem without having to buy a new one. As a note to others, there is a small copper washer that needs to go back on to prevent a gas leak, so be careful not to lose it when you remove this part. Thanks for the tip John!
I want you to know you saved me some heartache and pain also a lot of time as my mower is still under warranty repair shop said they would not get to for 4 weeks. Modified the fuel solinoid and the mower is back in business! You are the man! I hope you get a lot more subscribers as you deserve it💵
John Sellers,
THANK YOU for sharing you experience and saving so many of US so many headaches !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've just followed your instructions and my 4 year old Husv. is working like new again.
May the LORD bless your journey and your day. :) :)
Thank you again for your very giving attitude and GRAND explanation with LOT"S of video.
respectfully,
your new OLD carpenter friend :)
THANK YOU! Can't believe that just worked. I have the same exact ride on mower and it was doing the same thing you described in the video. I first thought it was just a spark plug since it had been awhile since I last changed it. Nope, it was that little "doo-hickey" causing the problem. So grateful for people like you that post videos to help others. Thanks again!
Changed air filter, oil, oil filter, spark plug, fuel filter.... and then did THIS. AND IT WORKED. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
My husband tried all the obvious things to fix ours and we are so grateful for your video. Worked exactly like you said!!
This was the problem I had. After a few hours of taking the carb off and cleaning it multiple times, getting covered in fuel, still no luck. Would turn over, but not fire. Watched this video, and literally 6 minutes later it runs great. Thanks!
After 2 days of messing with my mower and a lot of cussing, tried what you did and it solved it. I could not thank you enough. 🙌
This saved me so much time and money. Thank you! My mower fired right up after removing that pin!
I hardly ever leave comments, but you saved us a ton of time trying to get it start. We cut that piece off and it was fixed immediately! Thanks so much!
I pulled my fuel solenoid and tested it and it seemed to be working. I went to Lowes and purchased hex nut m8-1.0 and hex cap screws m8-1.0 x12 and made a plug to plug hole. Mower fired right up. Even though fuel solenoid acts like it’s working doesn’t mean it’s not faulty. Thanks for your post, my friend.
Got a Husqvarna riding mower 2years ago. Past Saturday just stopped running. Knew getting gas to carb. an spark plugs firing. Seen video, tried switch, no click, took solenoid off an cut stem off, runs like charm. Thanks so much for video, saved me money!!!
I never leave comments, but this one is well deserved. I changed the spark plug, installed new push rods, adjusted the valves, new oil and filter, and new battery. Gave this a try and it cranked up and started after 3 seconds because the gas had drained out. next start cranked once and started with zero problems. Thanks for the video and the knowledge!!! very much appreciated!!!
Sir, thank you very much!!! I did it exactly how you described and it worked...I was tired of throwing money at the problem. Thank you again.
Worked like a charm! I spent a few hours scratching my head. Thank you!!!!
Fixed mine after checking all the obvious stuff. Thanks for this video!
Man you’re a life saver. Thank you so much for this video! Cut that piece off and she started right up! You deserve a million likes
THANK YOU!!! YOU JUST SAVED ME $$$$! I was cutting grass and mower suddenly shut off. Couldn’t restart. After cleaning carb it wouldn’t start. I did what u did and ding ding, started right up. However, when i plugged the solenoid wires back in, they started burning, melting and smoking. I unplugged solenoid and so far it starts and runs like before. I’m no mechanic, but I’m pretty sure the wires don’t need to be reconnected since that part now serves no purpose to the mower. Woohoo!!!!!
I just watched your video and followed what you did and it cranked right over and is running smooth! Thanks for the fix!!
Thanks John. Easy to follow instructions. Will take a look at the filter as well. Mower is only 3 years old.
I have the same model mower and it shut off while I was mowing a couple weeks ago. Couldn't figure out what the problem was getting it to start. This worked on the first try! Thanks!
You totally nailed it and saved me $$$ & time. It was the carburetor switch. THANK YOU!!!
You're a lifesaver! I went the magnet route, put 4 neodymium disc magnets from menards on the bottom and mower is running like it is brand new! $17. Added bonus is thati now have a perfect anti theft device when i stop mowing and move magnets to the oil filter next door.
Thank you!!!
I fixed the fuel solenoid like you said.. Mower started right up. Thank you very much!!! :-)
Thank you Sir for your helpful information i have the same kind of lawnmower and the same problem with mine i did exactly what you said and it started rite up…… thanks 🤝
I want to thank you . I had the same problem. I installed a new fuel solenoid and it started on the first time.👍🙏👌
Great job!
Thank you thank you. I purchased part on Amazon $14 next day delivery.
When I went to local repair shop they said most likely not the problem. WRONG!
Your a genius! Great advise. Thanks again!
I’ve been working on mowers for almost two decades now and can say they are so full of shyte, that fuel solenoid pin gets stuck and is often the cause of no starts with riders that have them.
I started the video as someone very skeptical but gave in and tried it. Shaved off the part just as you said. Turned the key and it started right up. Thank you very much for your help
My Husqvarna died on me today for the first time in 12 long years! This video was the FIRST that came up for my model number, and from the time I clicked on the link, til the time I was cutting grass again, was about 10-15 minutes; Thanks John for the solution!! I just used a cutting disk on my dewalt grinder and cut the top quarter inch off the pin, replaced the copper washer, and screwed it back on with a 12mm open ended box wrench.
I'm glad it helped.
i also want you to know how much headache you saved me. Same problem and your fix was nothing short of brilliant. Thank you so much.
Thank you sooo much..
I bought a new one since I was nervous about cutting one and it worked!!!!
Was able to do it by myself too!!!!
you go, girl!
Thank u. I know nothing about small engine. And I really impressed my wife and got lucky later that night. U the MAN !! She was using the mower when it shut off and was sick that she broke it. Thanks again. !!!
Hey Friend- I have the same mower and experienced the same problems. I followed you instructions and it worked perfectly! Thank you so much!
Thank you. I bought my mower 3 years ago and have already had this problem twice.
Fixed mine. Thanks for the help!
I want to thank u so much, I am no mechanic but I took the carburetor apart and cleaned it I cleaned the tank I Checked all the gas lines and the switch under the seat……. Nothing. But I found this video and u saved me not only money but time cause I had no idea what to do next. I appreciate this video from the bottom of my heart and appreciate u taking your time to make this video to help people like me out. I gave u a big thumbs up thank u
Glad it helped
Thanks!!!! You saved me tons of time searching whats wrong...
Mine died while I was mowing grass. I did as you showed and I am up and running. Thanks!!
Legend!
Exact same “cause” scenario and fix worked a treat.
I had already cleaned the carburetor twice before I found your video.today..cut that little needle off like you said and it fired right up....thank you for the video
Mine was doing the same thing and by following your directions I got it running like new…Thank You for sharing
Glad I could help
You are the real MVP for this info! Thank you !
Thank you for your helpful video. Fixxed my mower just as you said.
Same thing to me today did what you said and worked like a dream thanks for the tip.
Have tried everything except this fix. Will try it tomorrow. Cant wait to see how it goes.
This is FYI ok? A mate who worked at a mechanic shop told me once how they fixed a very small 2 min fix problem on a womans car who left it at the shop for the day. It was a loose distributer lead causing a run rough situation. The mechanic listed a whole lot of BS fixes he said he did and charged her $700. I had a similar thing happen on my car brakes... but you cant argue with them while they hold your keys lol. So when the local mower man wanted me to deliver my Husqvana to his shop for a few days... I said forget it mate. haha.
THANK YOU! I did everything I could think of but it still wouldn't run. Tried to buy a new one, but nobody has any riding mowers under $4K. I will make it thru the summer now!
You're the best! Thank you! she running like a dream again!!
Thank you my friend for sharing that video, that was a big help I was going a little crazy try to find the problem, found out a very small thin had to cut off and the lawnmower won’t start right up, your friend on the big Island of Hawaii thank you (aloha)
So well explained. Like many of the commenters I'd tried a LOT of things. Nothing was making sense. Thank You.
This is brilliant, thanks John!!! You are a life saver!!!
Thanks for the tip !!! They told me it wasn’t bad at the husqvarna dealership…
You are THE Man!!!! Thank you so much!
Awesome video man! So glad I was able to find this. Solved my problem and got me mowing again! Thank you so much for making it!
Glad it helped. Mow on!
You fixed another one today.
Thank you.
This worked like a charm. Thanks so much!
Thank you! This is exactly what happened to me today!
Hey, I'm back! I can't get the Selenoid to come off! Can you give me some advice on that?
Thank you this fixed my mower.
✋ Another happy owner. Thank you sir!
You saved me! Thank you! 👍🏻
Thank you treasure wow you save people money GOD BLESS xxxx
Thanks for sharing this is going to save me a lot of money
DUDE
That fixed it.
I pulled the seat switch out.
I replaced the fuel filter.
I was looking up replacement parts for the entire fuel system.
My mechanic son found your video and forwarded it to me.
Mine was spinning.
Couldn't hear the click.
Pulled the part out, ground down the internal piece. Put it back together and it cranked right up.
Sweet.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much. It works again!
Brother youbhave helped me a lot
Darn it I will remember that. Thanks
Solved our problem. Thanks so much!
Shot in the dark, but this worked. Thank you sir
Your welcome
Thank you so much! This video saved me!
Good seeing ya out there big brother, and a "Mowing He will go"...LoL
Thanks Brother!
John, I have a very similar Husqvarna, same issue it was having, STARVING FOR PETRO, I took the carb out, , I looked at every wrench I had, I had nothing that thin until I took a 12 mm wrench and grinded down until it fit in the area. I took off the bowl, I had seen no gas in the bowl, I CUT THAT DAM PIN OFF, put everthing together within the hour, AND IT RAN LIKE A CHAMP.. YOU CERTAINLY HELPED ME ON THIS ONE.. Years ago they never had those little gizmos, they just add more hedache..
THANK YOU AGAIN JOHN
Now I feel the deck shaking more than it should, do you have a remedy for this?..🙂
Thanks this video helped me!
It worked for me. Thank you
Bought a new one and the click is VERY prominent. I don't know if the original is so loud but if it's not clicking it's absolutely the fuel solenoid.
This Video Was Right On Point My Friend....Thank You So Much For Sharing....God Bless You.... 💯👍⭐️
Did just what this video said and it fixed my problem. Thanks John. Saved me alot of money
thanks a lot for sharing. tried everything else.❤
Mine had the same black dirt all over it. Spray it down with Mean Green Mildew. Looks brand new now.
That mower is cool 😎 and thx
Mine has done this since new. Always had to use starting fluid. I'll check this tomorrow
Any luck? Mine needs starting fluid to start and I thought it might be the valves need adjusted. I haven't adjusted them yet.
@@moto-fl3rd Common problem on these is for the choke cable to be improperly set from the factory. Works for maybe the 1st season without any choke at all (even tho you think you are engaging it) because the motor is so brand-new perfect, but with normal wear needs real choke. 30-second fix. Loosen & readjust choke cable at that 1 screw that holds the middle of the choke cable to the side of the motor. Check at the end of the choke cable where it comes to the motor that the cable is actually pushing the lever as far forward as it can go... so the choke is really being engaged. No more starting fluid needed.
@@Grrrnthumb I'll give it a try. Thanks!
Appreciate you! Solved the problem.
Glad it helped.
Took solenoid off, also checked electric to it, Yes to power but solenoid didn't function when reconnected and turned key on. Pretty sure (99%) that is my problem. Ordered new one from amazon $12.99 get it in 4 days. Thank you for the info. Lowes said they'd fix it but would take 4 weeks, have to ship it to Tampa 4 hours away. Suggested I take it to local husqvarna dealer for faster service, I called local dealer and they said since I didn't buy it at their store they will have to let it sit for 3 weeks B4 they would look at it. Gonna report them to Husqvarna and will tell Lowes (where I bought it) about the dealers B.S.
Thanks so much. I am useless but i was able to do this quickly and it worked just like u said. My neighbors (and wife) are going to be shocked that i fixed it myself
Thats great! I think it's important we all know how to fix things on our own.
Wow thanks. Saved my butt.
Your a legend man thanks :)
Happy to help
Great fit, thank you so much
Your Welcome
Temporary fix is put a magnet on the bottom of the solenoid. It pulls down the needle and lets the gas flow.
I tried several very strong magnets but no luck.
Bought 4 neodymium disc magnets at Menards for $17 and slapped them on the bottom. Mower hasn't ran this well for the past 2 years! Awesome advice!!!
Thanks! Saved me the other day!
I have the same problem and the same exact mower. Tomorrow's payday but today will be perfect for mowing. I'm hoping that this will fix it! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I'll edit if it works. I'm almost positive it will based on the comments.
It works, Let me know your experience.
@@Jsellers1965it didn't work. I've tried everything. I'm a mechanic that makes a fantastic living but my luck with anything that runs on gas just doesn't exist. I've no idea what is wrong with this POS!!
I have an Intek engine in my mower but I don't know if it has a solenoid on the carburetor. Last time it wouldn't start the plugs were fouled. I need to get new plugs for it. Spark and gas.
Thanks buddy that was it! 😊
Your welcome
“I could get it from China” That got me laughing! Great info! Great video!
Thank you for this video, I fixed my mower act actually like you said! You saved me so much work! Thanks so much!
Thank you. That's exactly what happened to me. I was cutting grass and it just died. Cut that pin off and was back in business!
I have the same lawnmower been having problems out of my every since I bought the thang thank you sir now my lawnmower won't turn over with the key I have to keep bumping the key to start it ughhh
Sorry to hear your troubles. My neighbors just started smoking and his is a year old and he paid $1k more than me from a dealer.
Oh yes! Success!
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thanks solenoid was the problem.
Thanks for your video it saved me a lot of agravation!
