Just changed out started and starter Solenoid due starter was sticking to the fly wheel. Also replaced battery. Put everything back together. Got it running.
Turned it off waited half an hour now nothing. at my wits end trying to diagnosis any suggestions on where to go from here would be greatly appreciated.
 
Look near the " throttle arm " on the motor.----You may see a switch there with ONE white wire.----And it only needs one white wire.-----This switch prevents cranking if throttle is advanced too far.-----Or if the internal ground is dirty.----Remove switch and exercise it to clean internal contacts.----Reduce throttle and see if it cranks.
 
Will give it a go later this afternoon once home from work will update if it works or something else.. appreciate the help and reply
 
Thanks for the advise. Will look at this later today and post back if that’s the fix. Appreciate the information and reply.
 
Yep it corrected the problem.. thank you for that info. Greatly appreciated. Ran all weekend after adjusting the throttle cable.
 
I say, "Curse that useless switch" It's like a software update, basically useless, but can cause a hidden major problem. Only a moron is gonna try to start the motor with the throttle wide open, ....oops, never mind, they have to idiot proof stuff huh,,,,,
