Parts for Weedeater WE261: Electrical Parts

This part is a switch in the control system of a lawn tractor or lawnmower that activates the central electrical systems. Known as a starter switch, it is responsible for turning the power on for the mower. If the engine will not start and the electric starter does not engage, the ignition switch may be defective and needs to be replaced. To check an ignition switch, use an ohmmeter to determine if there is any connection between the S and B terminals. If no connection is detected, the ignition switch is the problem. Replacing an old or malfunctioning ignition switch on a riding mower is quick and easy. First, disconnect the battery and remove the bolt connecting it to the negative cable. Remove the ignition switch and disconnect the wire harness attached to the back. Install the new ignition switch, connect the wire harness, and then reconnect the battery. This part is compatible with specific products from popular brands like Ariens, Craftsman, Husqvarna, Murray, Poulan, Ryobi, and Weed Eater. It is a genuine OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer and is sold individually.
