My tractor wouldn't restart after running fine a few minutes earlier. Checked fuses, etc, then determined that the fuel shutoff solenoid has a bad "pull" side, although the "hold" side still works. I can run the tractor if I pull the solenoid, turn the key on, then manually retract the shaft and reinstall the device. Once the key switch is off, though, it won't restart and I need to repeat the procedure.
I've still got a few weeks left on my 36 month warranty and can't seem to find out if this part is covered and even if it is, the dealer (who didn't sell me the machine) is a hundred mile round trip through Los Angeles traffic. It may be worth it to me to just buy a new one if I can find it in a few days' time but I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem and, if so, was it covered under warranty? Another question is how does one prove warranty status to a non-selling dealer and can they just provide a new one under warranty if I take the part and tractor purchase paperwork to their location?
