Parts for Poulan DPR22H46STA: Electrical Parts

This is a starter solenoid used in a variety of riding lawn mowers and yard tractors. Unlike most push mowers that are started by pulling a rope and firing a magneto, riding mowers have starters and batteries. The solenoid is the link between the battery and starter. When the ignition key is turned, electricity from the starter flows through the solenoid to the mower's ignition, firing the engine. Because it is the part subjected to abrupt electrical charges, over time the solenoid's internal workings may fail and the device must be replaced. A symptom of a bad solenoid is the if the engine fails to turn over. To make sure the problem is not the battery, turn the ignition switch on and use a screwdriver to simultaneously touch both terminals of the solenoid. If the engine turns over, the solenoid must be replaced. The solenoid sits inside the engine housing by the starter motor. Before starting to replace it, disconnect the positive battery cable. Replacing this device is as simple as disconnecting the wires that attach it to the battery and unbolting it from the engine housing. This solenoid is a genuine OEM replacement part that is manufactured to be an exact replacement for the original part. This solenoid is compatible with Poulan, Husqvarna, Craftsman, and Weed Eater equipment.
