To All, I posted about before about having Electrical issues with my MF 165 dsl. Could not get it to turn over, thought it was the battery but that checked out. Checked the wiring this past weekend and found the positive lead from the battery going to the solenoid on top of the starter had rubbed against it and was shorting out. I fixed that issue by moving the power cable and rapping it in electrical tape, I also bent the end to keep it way from touching the solenoid. I now think I have burnt up the solenoid because I still have nothing when I turn the key. Pull started the tractor everything works great but if I shut it off it will not re-start. How do you test the solenoid or should I just buy a new one and make sure the electrical lines are no touching it????? Could the short on the solenoid have messed up the starter???
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You Charlie
