Well, I believe we figured it all out. Went though the testing and feel comfortable with the diagnosis. For kicks and giggles, I installed a solenoid from an MTD Yard Machine I junked out with a broken transmission case. Once installed the machine fired right up with no issues at all.
Now, the next question: the MTD unit was mated with a B&S and the 1/2 the cost of a new one listed for the 782 from the dealer. Would I be safe using this MTD Yard Machine solenoid on the 782 or would it be in my best interest to get a original part? The unit is simply gonna be the work horse so to speak.
Thank you all for your feedback and help on this issue.
