[C320-list] Starting Problem

[Joe Barrett]

So you think it is the starter button itself? Is that a Seaward product?

It was not the positive and negative but just across the solenoid which will
give you a spark and proves that either the key or starter button could be
bad so start there and then it is on to the solenoid. 
You always have a positive line to the starter solenoid and the start button
just activates the solenoid. We use to start all our tractors with a nail if
the boss had the key and had not shown up yet. You need a key on a gas
engine to energize the ignition but the starter works the same way.
