hey guys been havin some trouble with one of my mowers.its a 48 inch lesco with a 17hp kawasaki single cylinder engine FC540V. it has sat for the last 2 1/2 years (was a backup that i never needed) i finally got the starter to work after jumping it and cleaning it out, adding a few drops of oil to it. the problems im having now are that i get no spark when i jump it, also turning the the keyswitch does not try to start the motor. nothing happens. im guessing it could be one of the safety switches but i really have no clue. is there a way that i can just bypass the safety switches so that i can at least get it up and running while trying to figure out whats causing the problem? also does anyone have a wiring diagram and / or troubleshooting guide for this specific engine. the ones i have received so far have been helpful but they are different than my engine. thanks all in advance for any help offered
