ASV woes...

[floridaforestry]

I am looking to see if anyone has any ideas they can pass along. I have a RC-100 with the Perkins engine in it that won't start. I get all the lights, a/c to come on when the key is turned, just no fire to the motor. No turn over or click, nothing. Machine has had is issues but this on has me stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds to me like some safety thing is keeping it from starting.... like a PTO engaged on a tractor. Are all the levers, settings, etc in the start position? Sometimes the simplest things are the hardest.

The QD switch (upper left) and the high & low flow switches (upper right) will prevent the engine from starting. Those switches can be a problem if rainwater gets in around the front light gaskets in the overhead console.

The QD switch was in the "unlock" position. Had no attachment on it at the time. The simplest things are the most aggervating.
