    Z421 Normal Operation --> Start jumping battery to starter --> No start at all

    Shoutout to North Idaho Wolfman. I got the WSM in the mail today and had the fix within 15mins. The 30A slow blow fuse between the motor and the battery (wrapped in red tape and I had no idea was there) had blown. Quick trip to auto parts store and we are running again. Unfortunately, rain all...

    Z421 Normal Operation --> Start jumping battery to starter --> No start at all

    Understood, just placed the order for a physical copy. Just wish grass would stop growing in the meantime.

    Z421 Normal Operation --> Start jumping battery to starter --> No start at all

    Gotcha, I think we're on same page. Here's a pic of what I replaced. There are also a pair of relays under the seat on the right hand side. I have not replaced those, but they did show continuity. Was just outside and maybe a better way to explain what I'm going through is jumping across the...

    Thanks for the reply. Already swapped the starter relay/solenoid. There's something holding it back from sending power across itself and onto the starter. At same time there is something holding the motor back from starting/running. Gut tells me it's the same thing doing both (bad connection I'm...

    Tested continuity on all the fuses in the box, including the spares, and all were good. I'm really baffled. We just hit 200hrs (201.9 at moment) and have never had an issue until the last 30 days. I'm going to go gray over this one haha

    Thanks to you as well for the reply on fuses. Visibly, all the fuses seem to be good to go. Will test them to be sure and report back.

    Z421 Normal Operation --> Start jumping battery to starter --> No start at all

    Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. -Ground wires clean and snug. -No wire damage visible anywhere -Just tested battery and starter relay, both getting 12.5v. Starter itself getting 10.6v. Will try to get battery load tested to be safe. -Relay isn't sending anything to the starter unless...

    Z421 Normal Operation --> Start jumping battery to starter --> No start at all

    Hey all, long time listener first time caller for both my Z421 zero turn and L2900 tractor. Anyway, we've had a Z421KWT 60" deck for 7-8 years now (Kawasaki FS730V) It has always been a workhorse for us up until roughly 30 days ago. At that point, the only way I could get it started was to...
