I have a glitch in my Dixon ZTR 542 circuit that keeps it from starting. OTOH, I can just disconnect the ignition switch and start the engine and it runs fine. I can't seem to find any circuit diagrams or electrical troubleshooting info, All I have from Dixon is a wiring loom drawing that gives no info on how it works./
It would seem that the trouble is in the kill circuit, something is telling the engine to stop. Presumable a malfunctioning safety interlock but I'm having trouble tracing the circuit. It seems I have
12 volts to the magneto when the 'ignition' is off and 3 volts when it is 'on', but is that normal?
Any clues where to get info? I have never been able to find a repair manual for this model on ebay or elsewhere.
