History: Did repairs to tractor and engine. Started and drove around for 20 minutes. No problem. Went back following morning and battery was drained. Change he d battery at 20A automatic. Then removed charger, tried to start, nothing at all. Checked for blown fuse, blown and replac d. Tried to start and immediately blew fuse. Then disconnected carb solenoid and voltage regulator. Replaced fuse starter turn and dash lights worked. Discovered when disconnecting that solenoid wire was pinched between to metal engine shrouds - I adjusted wire. Then attached regulator and starter turned. Then reconnected carb solenoid and starter turned. I then tried to start mower. Engine turned, but backfired so strongly and the engine would not start that I stopped trying to start.
Can the starter solenoid create this kind of response: heavy backfiring and no start engine? Perhaps voltage regulator? I m seeking recommendations as to potential causes. I tend to not believe it is valves because it ran well before and only carb solenoid and regulator were touched since it ran well. Thanks in advance for your help.
