Post NEED SOME HELP!!older model gator tail w/cranking issues!!!
Hey all! I have an older model Gator tail tiller powered by a 35 hp Vanguard. Sometimes it starts :D , sometimes it just clicks and won't turn over :cry: . I thought it was the starter, so I replaced it and it still did the same thing :shock: . Next, I replaced the ignition switch, same problem :evil: . The clutch switch appears to be working properly. Any suggestions on what to try next?? Thanks in advance for your response!! :mrgreen:

Did you replace the solenoid on the starter?
What about your 12 volt wire going to the solenoid?

Check the voltage on that yellow wire going to the starter solenoid, and charge your battery.
