I am new here and it looks like a great place for info so here we go. Last week the drive belt slipped off and shredded and at the same time I lost the function to start with key. I was able to get belt back on and pull to get to a place to work on it. I replace the belt and she started up with a pull (still no key and battery dead) and about 30 minutes into the cut it died. Now I cannot even pull to start. I did verify the carb is clean and will check spark tonight. Some other quick troubleshooting shows if I charge battery I do get good voltage until I turn the key. At first click voltage goes to zero and at start nothing either. Another observation made was when I got it running and engaged blade it immediately died until I jiggled the key a bit. I am small engine friendly but this unit has some sensors that I am unaware of.
Any ideas would be very helpful
Thanks,
Tony
