new solenoid fitted
starter has been checked and ok
new battery
will start if solenoid wires are bridged

if you can start by bridging starter ,I would suggest investigating wires from the ignition switch to the motor . if your mower has a push button start check that also. check for loose connections , could well be the ignition switch at fault.also iam thinking there must be some inline fuses somewhere or maybe a starter relay perhaps ,not sure,but it must be a pretty basic starter system?.
