2003 Mountfield Model 1436M Riding Lawnmower
Engine is Briggs and Stratton Diamond I/C 13.5 hp

The mower has a starting problem. When the key would be turned sometimes it'd start...sometimes not. When it acted up, a bridge across the solenoid with a screwdriver or spanner would get it going.

I replaced the solenoid-same problem.

I replaced the ingition switch-no help.

I'd like to bypass the safety switches (seat and blades), but I'm not sure which wires they are. All the wires come into and out of a "little grey box" that has what appears to be a transistor-type board that the wires all plug into.

If anyone has experience or ideas I'd appreciate them.

Cheers,
Matt
