I have a murray riding lawn mower and I went to start it and it did nothing.. how do I check the solenoid.. or what do I need to check?. battery is fine

Check the fuse first.

I also had to cross the solinoid on mine to start. I figured it was the ignition switch and replaced that. It still won't start. Fuse is fine, solinoid and ign. Switch are new. Im thinking it's the stupid safety switches. One for the seat, one for the clutch, and one for the blade. Where can I find schematics or pictures with instructions on getting to these switches and fixing them?? Can I just cut the switches out of the links??

Contact a Briggs and Stratton dealer for diagrams, they now own Murray.
