    Wizard Riding Mower won't start
    Bought at a yard sale. Works like a charm but I got up out of the seat while it was running - and the blades were engaged. It died, but now I can't get it to start. I've disengaged the blades, it's in neutral. I push the clutch and turn the key, but nothing happens.

    When I bought it, I thought the lady showed me something underneath that "trips" if I get out of the seat. I've tried playing with everything but can't find anything under there that should make a difference.

    The manual doesn't give me any information on this...

    Help!

    Hi, did you get an answer to your question, I have a similar problem with my Wizard mower. Could it be the Solenoid ?:confused:
