After three or four years of usage, usually one or more will go bad causing the engine not to start
especially if started by battery and by ignition switch.Alot of good equipment can be found setting
up because of these switches. RIDING MOWERS HAVE AT LEAST THREE OF THESE SWITCHES, ONE
LOCATED ON CLUTCH BRAKE, ONE LOCATED ON BLADE ENGADGEMENT AND ONE LOCATED ON SEAT.
Pushmowers have only one and it is connected to handle you hold to start and run. Generators
have a low oil pressure switch that will usually go out.
