Mend Briggs & Stratton 917.270680 Mower Start

How can I get my mower to start?

16 hp briggs & stratton riding mower, model # 917.270680.
I have replaced the spark plug, the solenoid, ignition coil and it still won't start. I have jumped it with my car and still nothing.

Check your primary fuse under the fuel tank. Its should be a 20 amp. Check power to the starter and solenoid. Spray electrical contact cleaner into the ignition switch keyhole and onto the plug on the backside of the switch. You have three relays to check, pull each one until you find the right one. Make sure that you have a good ground under your right rear fender above the tire. Clean the connection and seat it again. Thats a good start. Probably a ground.
