Solenoid-Starter 691656

A starter solenoid, also known as a starter relay, is an electrical component that is used within small engine systems to control the starter motor by engaging it when an ignition key is turned - acting as a bridge between the battery and starter motor. This starter solenoid is designed for use with various models of lawn mower and other small engine equipment and is sold as an individual part with no securing hardware. Depending on your model and type of equipment, the location of the starter solenoid may be different, but it is typically located on or around the engine block, and close to the battery. If you notice issues with starting your equipment such as clicking sounds, intermittent starting or simply not starting at all, the solenoid may be burnt or damaged and need replacement immediately. You can test the solenoid for continuity on its terminals with a multimeter, but make sure to take safety precautions. To replace a starter solenoid, you need only disconnect the equipment from power, locate the solenoid, disconnect and remove any connections and securing bolts before you can replace it and test for full functionality.
