Ran fine now won’t start.

Murray 309001x08A - Turfmaster 30" Mid-Engine Rider (2009) (Home Depot)

Won’t start, it doesn’t turn over at all. I replaced the fuel tank and drove it around the yard and it ran good. I tried to crank it the next day and nothing. My Battery Tender charger and multimeter show the battery is good, over 12.5 volts. I replaced the stater solenoid, brake and seat safety switches and it just makes a slight kinda clang sound once and that’s it.

Test for continuity between the battery and the starter, the cable may have gone bad or corroded.

Thank you Mayer. The positive cable to the starter solenoid and the solenoid itself were bad. Thanks for the quick response.
