Re: Ariens 1336PRO 12v Starter issue

I figured it out! I think it took me longer to register and post this then it did to actually fix it. I'll answer my own questions in case someone else has a similar issue in the future.
Yes the solenoid is separate from the starter and is located under the battery tray.
The access panel is located between the tire and directly below the battery.
There are 4 bolts you only need to remove 2, the one on the left and right. The other 2 hold the solenoid to the panel.
My problem was corrosion on one of the terminals on the solenoid. I cleaned it and it works fine now.
So I purchased the new battery prematurely but I got 6 years out of it without ever removing or charging it so I guess I shouldn't feel too bad.
Ariens 1336PRO 12v Starter issue
#2   Dec 13, 2009 4:41 pm
Hey guys hoping someone can help me out with a starter issue.
I own an Ariens 1336PRO ST1336DLE Model# 924506 SN# 003716.
This model has the 12v battery electric start. I have owned it for 6 years and when I went to start it it just clicked like the battery was dead.
So I assumed after 6 years it was time to replace the battery. I purchased a new battery with a 340 CCA model that the manual suggested.
I made sure the terminals were clean but when I turned the key it still clicked and didn't turn over.
I assumed I was sold a dead battery but I tried the electric chute control and it moves fast like it has plenty of power.
I hooked up my battery charger and it said the battery was fully charged. I pulled out the multi meter and it is reading 13v.
There is no corrosion at all on the battery terminals and a little on the heavy gauge power wire that goes to the starter so I cleaned that connection.
When I test for power with the key turned to start there is no power on the heavy red wire that is connected to the starter. I assume there should be.

Do these starters have a remote Solenoid like a Ford or is it attached to the starter like a Chevy?
Is the solenoid located in the box under the battery? I think that is where the click comes from.
Does it sound like my issue is the starter solenoid?

I am aware I can still use the pull start but I have been spoiled for years with the electric so its worth it for me to fix it.

Thanks,
Ray
