Success!
Well, sort of anyway.
I spent the morning going back through the stuff I knew I had changed, and then took a look at the solenoid. I pulled the cable off of one side, and just touched it directly to the battery, and that spun the starter. In fact, she started right up, and then died out since I had the gas turned off at the sediment bowl.
Checking all my other connections, I figured the solenoid was the best bet. El Toro, thats the exact solenoid that I had on the tractor, and I was able to get another one at the parts store for around 10 bucks. I hooked it all back up, and....nothing. I guess the base of that solenoid has to be grounded, and I just sort of had it hanging in the air.
So, I bolted it back to the frame, and she turns over like a champ.
Except now she wont start still, but this is forward progress.
I think my problem is that the key switch also controls what would have been the kill switch. (It has a Denny's Electronic Ignition on it) Since it started right up this morning once I bypassed the solenoid, and I played with the jumble of wires since then, Im pretty sure that I need to just go back through my connections and see if one is loose or grounding out.
Now its down to either fuel, air, or spark, and Im going to guess its spark since thats the system I have been foolin' with.
Ill post back later to give an update.
Thanks again for all the help thus far, its much appreciated.
