Here's the page you asked for. I was going to email you the complete manual but, you have no contact info. Send an email to me or Lesco and you'll get the complete manual. Tony
By the way, cross the solenoid with a screwdriver or something and see if it will start. Also, take your starter off and hook it up to a battery to see if it works, new brushes make it work like new.

I sent you 3 pdf files. 2 are Lesco and one is Kawasaki, I hope you have broadband!
Take the starter off and use jumper cables from a battery. Black where it bolts to the engine and red on the terminal. It should spin like a banshee, if not your brushes are worn and you'll need to rebuild it. Tony
