Maybe the best video I’ve found on electrical troubleshooting. Thank you!
and 6 years later this video still helping folks out, thanks Mr. Dactal
Small engine repair is my new hobby and these videos are like doing an apprenticeship at a shop. Outstanding. I’m working my way though years of theses and enjoying the hell out of it. Thanks!
That good info because if your a old guy you forget to test everything thanks
With the safety switch's can't you just cut the wires and join them together and tape them up? That would work right?
This video has such a wealth of info. I would like to see more like these from time to time. !! Thanks for all u do. Keep up the good work. You're the BOMB!!!!! Taryl!!!
Every video of yours is just fantastic its a pleasure watching , you are funny and your repair explanation is the best. The younger generation don't appreciate how lucky they are in my younger years there was no youtube . God bless you and your workers.
We are lucky to be able to just look information like this off a phone. It was way more difficult in the past. Alot of trial and error. And time
Taryl, Thank you! My husband was at work and I wanted to mow. Knew it was an electrical issue but figured I'd have to take it to the mechanic. Ended up being the 20 amp fuse which I did not know was there. I learned a lot and your video was fun too. Keep up the good work and thank you again!
LOL, Interrupted me on my shower day. Thanks for some humor with the great advice.
I took the tip off the fuel solenoid on a Kohler in a husqvarna vtwin Command....much better than buying a new one mower had sat for two years or so without being ran neighbor gave it to me the valve was stuck in the closed position shutting gas off
I'd rather listen to your advice than these so-called small engine pros. They delete too many important steps. Great jobs sir!!
But but but, he’s not some stuffy boring serious guy that puts you to sleep with his boring demeanor I CAN’T HANDLE IT!!!!!!
I hate it when my riding mower breaks down on R.R. tracks! From now on I'm gonna keep my talking test light with me when I'm mowing. ;). Thanks for another goodie. :)
Fuel shutoff on my JD X320 was only getting 10V and would not open. Traced back to 12 circuit M/F connector which was bad near Key. Recurring situation. Cleaned it several times and distorted male connector in Yellow wire to give tighter contact. I think you can still say Yellow! Next time plunger gets shortened as it is not Gravity feed.
Man, Taryl.... U R awesome!!!! Need you verrry awwn T.V. network show!
He’s not boring enough for mainstream

Also, check to make sure that both of the wires that connect the fuse, hasn't wiggled loose.
That is what was wrong with mine. It is a very easy fix, and could save you hours of headaches. You won't hear a click when you turn the key. I found the problem when I checked the fuse.
With the safety switch's can't you just cut the wires, join them together and tape them up? That would work right?
@@JQUICK21 Yup, or disconnect it, like I did with the safety switch under the seat.
Thank you for the video. With your help I was able to fix my Bobcat lawn mower. It wouldn't start. I traced it to dirty PTO switch contacts. I cleaned them and presto it started right up!
I have taught many subjects in my time, so I know what I'm talking about. The true test of a great instructor is that he knows his subject matter cold from top to bottom. Many just memorize a subject and then try to teach it. They are not able to explain the how and why behind the subject matter. It is obvious you live your subject matter so you know the how and why behind why things behave the way they do, which is critical for the student to truly understand and retain the subject matter. Thanks for your knowledge and the special patience you display to take the time to thoroughly explain things that I'm certain are second nature to you.
great video, real informative and entertaining. Cheers
I enjoy all your videos they have been very helpful and entertaining but this one made me laugh so hard I almost fell out of my chair.
I've come back to this video multiple times. thanks Taryl
All the Dam Safety switches will drive you crazy. Seat switch disconnected. Nice Vid. thank you!
You have the best videos I have ever seen. You crack me up. The way you explain everything has got me looking at them all. I'm a retired plumbing heating contractor, Boilers and furnaces I know, but I know absolutely nothing about fixing engines. Now I have time and want to learn how to fix my lawn mowers and tractors. Keep up the good work and thank you so much for what you are teaching us all.
Hey, Taryl--thanks for the advice on troubleshooting my 2002 John Deere tractor with 16 HP Deere/Kohler engine. It was running beautifully and just suddenly quit. I suspected a fuel flow issue, so I replaced the fuel filter and fuel pump, but that didn't solve the problem. I started researching on youtube and came across your "How to troubleshoot electrical problems", and when you described exactly what happened to me, I followed your advice and removed the fuel shutoff valve, cut off the small "plunger", and reinstalled. Now, she's running great again--Thank you!
You're have created a great comic character who provides useful information while entertaining. Well done sir. 👍
I thought my Toro Wheel Horse 265-H was the worst with all the safety switches. Thanks for taking the time to make checking these things out easier than one may think. I wish I could bypass all the safety switches but the most important ones. The switches are so cheap and seem to fail all the time. Peace, Reese
I have troubleshooting those John Deere them bastards just run to fast

power to starter but not enough to turn over if I jump it will run until it just turns off then I have to jump again please help
Taryl, what should I start to look at if my ignition coil keeps burning out?
You have saved me and my craftsman riding lawnmower's relationship. Because of a safety switch problem on the blade engagement, it is now working properly because of your generosity of expertise. Thank you very much.
Ive watched so many videos on eletrical problems and this one sum them all up and much much more. Thank you so much Taryl
I hate them carb solenoids...I just use a regular carb bowl bolt and fuel line cut-off valve...
Great troubleshooting video, thanks for sharing
Holy crap Taryl, have you lost your mind.........HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!.........So your telling ME that all I gotta do is talk to MY mower like a Squirrel who's lost its mind, to fix IT..................NOW YOU TELL ME!!
Knowledge is everything thanks for the lesson. Cool video & fun to watch.
Great video I feel like I've just earned my mower Phd....Thanks
This video perfectly demonstrates how mechanically driven is always better than electronically driven. Yes electronically driven is all nice and easy but it’s also always built to be thrown away in two years. If you wanna go and fix it all power to you. Mechanically driven will last 20 years plus and require normal tune ups.
That was the best electrical trouble shooting video I have ever seen . Excellent!!
+tractorman604 Theres yur dinner!
I've lost count of how many time I've had heat stroke and left the blade switch on.
HHEEEEEEYYYYYY Tarryl!!!
My battery keeps draining down over night and wont crank Bubba!!
Help me !!! I got me one of t hose YT3000's with a 21 hoss powa Briggsy.
The man who got a battery for me got an interstate that has 210 CCA!
I think that battery aint no good for this engine. how many CCA would you put in er?
Taryl, I have a craftsman R-1000 420cc rear engine model # 247.290003 made by MTD. The engine starts fine, only when I try to engage the blade the engine will die down to a stop. I looked for obstructions under the 30" deck, all is clear. The pull which holds the blade turns freely when I have it in Neutral. Any suggestion would help, Thanks. Phil/Ohio.
Took a 20hp Kohler off a toro timecutter z- turn replaced with a 708cc predator electric wiring don’t match so I’m trying to find the right hook-up for the frame timecutter can you help please
Taryl, I have a 2166 cub cadet that will run until I let the brake off, then it dies. I've checked all 3 safety switches and they're all good. The ignition switch is good, along with the pto switch. It will start and run fine until the brake is released. The pto clutch engages with the key on so its good. I've checked continuity on most of the wiring and I'm just about at the end of my rope. Any suggestions? Thanks
How is the motor oil body wash for your skin? It must be good, since your skin always appears so supple :) Thanks for all the helpful videos, just recently discovered your channel, awesome stuff!!!
Last summer my mower just quit. No power. Kept blowing the 30amp fuse as soon as you turned key. I started from the back of the mower and started checking everything. Working my way forward. Over a few days checking for the short when I wasn't at work. Every switch. Then to wiring. Started pulling harness from back to front. Cleaning grounds and using die electric grease when reassembling. Last section of wiring was the headlights is where I found short inside loom that was zip tied too tight. Power and ground wire rubbed together 🙄. Now only if I started from front of mower. Would've only taken a minute to fix not a few days 😂
I can’t seem to get any power going to the key start position to the solenoid. Red wire
Excellent video! 1999 Troy Built 2 cylinder Briggs & Stratton can't get spark to the plugs, checked all safety switches, 2 new coils, new ignition switch, removed kill wires from the coil and still no spark, checked fuses and found blown fuse and replaced it, new solenoid as well. Don't know which direction to go now. cleaned the magnet on fly wheel, shear pin is OK turns over great but no spark. looked at harness for bad spots or broken wires and looks OK.
My lawn tractor has an issue.
1st. It ran fine and you could drive it around. I decided I was going to pulley swap it and after I did that, it would not start. Disconnected the battery and checked the lines. Slapped it back together and connected the battery, as I was connecting the battery, the engine steered turning over. I quickly turned the key off but nothing happened.
2nd. It is a John Deere STX38 Yellow Deck.
3rd. Can anyone help me?
I have a L130 John Deere , I have 12 volts at the voltage meter/regulator with key off. .. where is the Diode in that wire?? or why is there 12 volts with key on and offf!??
I have had several John Deere that the battery ground wire in front of battery to the chassis ..Lost ground.. anyone else found that an issue??
question please ,,,,on a pony 2006 and maybe many others when the PTO handle is engaging the blades a N/O switch closes and the RPM'S increase , how does that work ? as far as activating the carb ? thanks
Excellent informative video, thanks Mr T.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Love your videos. Thaks for all the details. I have a d105 that will only "bump" over when you try to start. Already replaced starter and battery. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you
Thanks for all the video's. Lots of great info. I have an issue maybe you can help me with. I have a JD LT133. I burned up the stator and intended to rewind it. I noticed of the 3 wires coming from the stator that one of my stator wires was grounded to the stator body but is also wound on the last 6 posts and then connects to one end of the other wound wire. essentially that would make all my coil wires touching ground. How is this possible? This is a 13hp Kohler Command Series with a 3 amp stator. Thank you.
You guys diden't make this up? you must have had a movie wrighter do it. NO? Ya well after graduating High School when i left i had to go out and get an Education. Any way your funny !! have a Good Night and Pleasant Tomorrow .
your amazing, got me a free cub cadet and learning from you, I dont see my problem on your vids tho, this1046 wont keep the battery charged soon as you turn it off after you charged it dead again, im 60 women know some mechanics but tnot the electrical or charging issues..??
On a craftsman t8200 starter will barley turn the motor over. But with both plugs out it turns over real good and the plugs was dry... Any advice.
Is very informative video I have a question I have a Craftsman 42" LT 1750. 917.27222. The tractor died while I was mowing the grass. I reset everything and it started right up but as soon as I release the brake pedal it cut off then when I release the PTO it cut off. I cut the white wire going to the engine so I could defeat the safety system. Now I can drive it back to the shop. I have replaced the PTO switch the Ignition switch the interlock switch and the seat switch. I cannot figure out why the lawn mower is grounding out when I let go of the brake pedal or pull out the PTO. I have alleviated the problem by cutting the white wire that goes to the engine but I would love to trace down what is grounding out. what would be the testing process to find a bad ground?
I have a Craftsman LT 1000 with a 17hp Kohler. The lights work but when I turn the key to ignition and start the motor, the lights don't work, Any idea?
I have a John Deere D140. When I start the engine I will here a whining noise (starter?) and the red positive wire to the battery terminal gets hot, smokes, and has melted some of the wire casing. The starter wire also feels warm that connects to the starter. I have replaced the solenoid from a John Deere supply store. I also replaced the battery with 350 cranking amps (melted the post off of the previous battery). I used my multi meter to check for resistance and continuity issues but could not find any. I pulled the engine cover off to view the starter. It appears that the gear thing is coming up and meeting flywheel. Sometimes it will start right away then if I shut if off and restart I get the whining noise, smoke coming from the positive battery terminal. I did not check the relay switch or ignition switch but do you think it is the starter? I bought this tractor used 3 years ago and replaced the starter once before (aftermarket) due to it smoking and cooking the windings.
Have a JD. Last year fuse blew. Ran fine after. Pulled it out this year, riding fine, big backfire noise lost all electric. Any ideas?
July 3, 2022. I used my tractor two days ago. Went in for dinner and a couple hours rest and, when I came back out, I turned the key to find nothing. No noise at all. I thought the battery might be dead somehow. I tested it and it's fine. I now know what else and how else to check. I'll add to this comment after the rest of my trouble shooting. Wish me luck!!
Got a 2 yr old troy pony. Jus like u said out mowing grass. Shut it off to get a drink. Get back on and turn key. Nothin. No clickin. No start. No headlights. No nothin. Battery hot. Cables tight. Gotta be switch or key switch. Help.
Completely brilliant Sir!! ..lawn mower whisperer lol..absolutely hysterically funny, I laughed until I was in tears! lol. I am SO glad I found your channel! lol. You teach invaluable information for free through comedy and I imagine that the lesson sticks better that way than with any other method :) You could write your own ticket at any trade school, technical college or anywhere else of your choosing and people would stand in line for your classes ..especially if you taught as Taryl lol. I would want your class for sure! You are clearly are an expert in your field! Thank you so much for another wonderful video! :)
Thank you ☺️. Since my husband has passed and I am alone to do it all on my our .
These videos have kept me from sounding stupid . And has helped me get a lot done by my self. Bless you.
I have seen about 30 John dear and others show trouble shooting. Guess What ? YOUR THE BEST OF THEM ALL WITH YOUR CLEAR SIMPLE MAKING IT EASY EXPLANATION'S. Thanks
100% There are a bunch of others, and they're good, but Taryl always puts it in a language I understand. If he uses jargon, he explains what it means. Most add so much jargon, I can't understand WTF they think they're telling me.
Great info. Exact situation happened where mower ran fine, I turned it off to go inside, came back and it wouldn't start. The blades looked to be disengaged but apparently were not. I moved the blade engagement lever in and out of position a couple times and now mower starts up! Wish I'd have seen this before removing ignition switch and starter solenoid and battery swap!
I have a husqvarna RZ5426 in the shop that shuts off when you start releasing the brake , it also will do it if you take it out of neutral and start to push the lap bar fwd, seat switch is operating as it should any ideas what else could be the problem
I got tired of chasing switches and fixed them permanently! Life is grand just like the 70's again 😂
Thanks for the video. I have a craftsman zts7000 and whenever I hook up the battery there's a spark and it will drain the battery in a short time. I can hear it click when I connect the battery and then click again in a minute like a circuit breaker and then it will start and run, but it will die in a few minutes. Do you have a video to troubleshoot my problem?
Tarly your one hell of a Machanic enjoy your channel and videos very informative and funny as hell thanks brother!
I bypassed all safety switches and it still won't start please help craftsman riding mower 1000 serie fuse is good
YOU ARE KILLING MAN, YOU SAVED MY LIFE NOW , JUST NOW A SEC AGO I WENT TO CHECK BLADES WAS ON i LEFT AFTER YOU SAID. I WILL COME AND GIVE LIKE FOR EVERY SINGLE VID EVEN I WATCH SOMETHING ELSE I PUT ANOTHER UA-cam TAB PUT YOU ON SLINCE BUT I LIKE YOU YOU MAKE ME LAUGH ...D AMN GOOD MAN.
i remembered when i removed the antibackfire solenoid off the carburetor when i had a Kubota T1560 the safety switches didn't work as i learned the safety switches on Kubota and other lawn tractors are linked to the antibackfire solenoid on the carburetor as others are by grounding out the magneto coils in the engine. but can vary from one make lawn tractor or zero turn mower to another
Thank you my friend. I wish I had watched your video 2 hours ago. Would have saved me much stress. Left the pto engaged didn,t I !!!!!!! Cheers from down under!!
my GOd id feel liek such a tool if thats all that was wrong with the one i got ...the blade was on..it wouldnt turn over no signs of life form lights or anything but i know nothing about these.i mean i still got money out of it and got it for nothing but id have loved to see it run..ffs..anyway thanks for this video.
I used to work in the city of Columbia I found an old riding lawn mower in the bottom of a trash pile and I broke it home about 3 months later a man stopped beside where I was working and asked me did I ever get the old lawn mower working I said yeah I was cut grass with it yesterday and he was the man that told me I can get it and then he calls the power company it tells them he wants his lawn mower back so my boss man Told me had to bring it. I told the boss man it was given to me back
All I can say is thank you. I didn't grow up learning small engines. As a matter of fact we had an electric corded lawn mower. So now as an adult even though I could afford to take it to the shop, the shop takes forever and their customer service sucks. So I need to learn this stuff and you've helped with a lot of things I hadn't considered. You guys deserve more than just add revenue. I'm going to buy some merch right now
hey Taryladactal, when the brake switch stops working , does it just die or can it be intermittent ?
A spark plug necklace. I love it!
Model # is 31F707 Type 0112E1 code 030422ZE Brigs and Stratton
Mr test light is awesome. I have ran into a bad diode a couple times on dixon mowers.Pull out the PTO and the engine dies,check the main fuse and it's blown . Caused by a bad diode in the wiring harness the the electric clutch.
Solder in a new diode and you get your dinner.
I have a cub cadet MTD It says ithas voltage sensor, any body know how to test them. Thanks Gary
my gear wrench light came on my 5083 en john deere garm tractor, what does it mean??? i lost the manual and yes, im just a female. Need i say more???
not sure u will see this.. but .. i have a coalher.. that needs 6 plus volts for it to start.. has the mod on the side of it.. i replaced the sillynoid for reason it was toast.. but since them the volts goin to the module is around 2 to 3 volts on start .. i have to jump to the wire used for the carb sillynoid since i put a diff carb on it.. its easy to get to ..
Maybe its a candy machine???
Maybe its a cigarette Machine??
Oh no its a jergens lotion machine!
Lmao I love your videos makes me laugh while learning. Great combo to use in a video.
To: Taryl, the mice have eaten the wires that goes under my seat, and now my cub cadet runs a little and stops. Could that be the reason it stops an starts?
Good teaching Taryl. Digical electrocution parts are simple with a few lessons.
Thanks for showing that expert pro tip video. We love the videos for learning and the humor is very skilled also. Thanks a ton.
Can you show more on the John Deere la105 19.5hp briggs and Stratton
Now I don't believe she saved 200 dollars I got me one I will find out how much it will save me
The switches would be in series in the starter solenoid ckt. . If u or taryl are not in the seat
and the engine is shut off but blades were on when shut off, you have to dis-engage the blades
and sit down b4 engine can start.
hi taryal first time watcher i have a lt2000 craftsman riding mower 21 hp when i put my mower in reverse it dies when the citing blades are on but when i turn off the blades i can use reverse is that normal
You know what would help me most,,, with all due respect for your comedic video portions,,, that I could've done without,,, bcuz I didn't look up comedy,,,I looked up fixing this damn mower,,, I would've been able to learn better from your videos if you wouldn't have had some prop stuck in your mouth! I do, however, appreciate your tips on red neck modifications, such as cutting off the tit to the carb shut-off kill switch! That now is powerful red neck power!
I'm going to watch another,,, and have no real time to be commenting,, but I had to say that without it,,, it would've been nearly gold on platinum covered with diamonds!
You know where I come from we just buy out all the switches that I say screw it sometimes we wire straight off the key switch you're not the wiring burnt
I have a ,,2130 where the wire harness caught fire I need to trace and replace melted and stuck together
Mr.Testlight sounds like Mr.Hankey from Southpark
Very helpful information content thank you and you're very entertaining LOL
why does my relay buzz?
scag
wont start, battery good, safety switches are good
Multimeter... I thought that was when you had 4 or 5 dates with the same girl.
Andy Roid lmao
With the safety switch's can't you just cut the wires and then join them together and tape them?
thank you that help a lot you made it easy for me to understand how to troubleshoot. I'll let you know .thanks again.
Ur a wise man
I swear, all of your video intros/outros could double as Primus music videos lol.
