I have a G5200 lawn mower that I can not get to turn over. It was just fine until I shut it off after cutting 2 acres of grass. I wanted to fill up with Diesel fuel for the next cutting. I filled up wit the diesel fuel and now I can't get it to turn over. As first I thought it was a safety switch, but tested all of them and they seems to be good. I had the battery and starter tested and all seem to be working fine. When I took off the starter and had it tested I reinstalled and it did turn over a little, but stopped. I don't know where to go for here please help. I live in the South West suburbs of Chicago.

If it has a decompression lever or knob, pull it and then try turning the engine over by hand. This will tell you whether the engine is locked up or its something else causing the problem.
But yeah, I'm gonna guess its some kind of electrical issue, like a bad connection, bad ground or weak battery.

On your solenoid you have two wires, the small one is the trigger wire. Make up a test wire with an alligator clip on each end, attach one end to the post on the solenoid with the small wire, touch the other end of the test wire to the positive side of the battery.
If it turns over let us know.

We did the test wire and it did not turn over. My brother then used a jumper cable and grounded from another part of the frame and other to the solenoid and it turned over once. We did get it to turn over a few more times then nothing. We took of the starter and tested again and it didn't kick over. We then go it to turn over and reinstalled the engine started right up. I will order another starter just in case. -
I can't thank all of you enough that responded. The good part is I have a new battery,cables and pressure washed it so should be good for years to come. Does anyone know of place I can order a starter from? If I buy from Kubota it will be expensive.
