Mend Craftsman Mower Turn Over Start

craftsman mower won't turn over to start?

I have a crafsman riding mower #917.258532, 15.5 hp.When you turn the switch it dosn't click or anything. Battery tests good, replaced interlock switch to clutch. I put a screw driver across coil and it turns over. Does that mean coil is bad? I'm thinking coil or ignition switch.

I take it that when you say coil you mean starter solenoid. A thin cable goes to the coil from the ignition switch, you should find 12volts at this cable when you try to start. If not then check the cable back to the switch. If you do find 12volts then probably the coil (solenoid) is faulty.

I have a similar problem with my mower. Where is this coil you are talking about? I would like to try and see if I can start my mower that way.
