When I turn the key sometimes it spins the starter and runs fine and other times it acts like there is not enough power to spin the starter but is trying. The battery was just replaced and it run great once started I'm just wondering if the srater or celinoid is going bad

Hi,
My guess is the key switch.
Peace,

I don't think so because it is trying to start just turns over sometimes and other times acts like it locked up or battery dosen't have enough power but it is a new battery.

Hi,
Are your battery terminals coroded and not allowing good contact?

They look pretty good and I just replaced the battery thinking that was the problem but still does it I'm thinking the celinoid might be getting weak or the is some internal binding going on.

Hi,
Well, being both mechanical pieces, the solenoid and keyswitch are commonly failed items. Power equipment dealers sell tons of them a year.

Check your valve clearance ,
