It appears I have electrical issues. It started and loaded on the trailer just fine. Got home started and unloaded off the trailer ok. Then it stuttered in the yard and quit at the garage door. Thought maybe out of fuel, added a couple of gallons. It starts and dies when you let go of the key. Saw electrical tape on the connector on ignition switch. Pulled that off and the black wire terminal was toast. Pulled that apart and replaced terminal and block. Still same thing start and quit. I'm leaning towards a bad ignition switch. Do the headlights stay on all the time? The switch seems to have a start, run with lights and off positions only, is this correct? My 1811 has start, run, run with lights and off positions. I do see the parts book calls out 2 different switches for the 1811 and 2284. When I turn the key on only I do hear and feel the fuel solenoid click. But if I touch the key just a little the solenoid clicks in and out and lights stay on. Any thoughts guys?
