Description

The Briggs & Stratton 799481 Engine Starter Solenoid is an electrically operated switching machine that secures the battery to the starter motor when the ignition system is turned on. The contact plunger is moved by an internal electromagnetic coil which completes the electrical circuit that allows the starter to turn the crankshaft. It is mounted between the electrical supply and starter assembly and controls the flow of current during the starting sequence. The proper switching action ensures accurate electrical connection, starting performance, power transfer and smooth process time when the starting system is operated.

More Information:

The Briggs & Stratton 799481 Engine Starter Solenoid helps route electrical power from the mower starting circuit to the starter, supporting proper starter engagement when the ignition is activated.

Common problems include:

• Starter does not engage when the key is turned.

• Clicking occurs without starter engagement.

• Starting circuit remains inactive.

• Solenoid terminals show signs of corrosion.

• Starter receives no electrical activation.

Starter Fails To Engage

Quick Check: Turn the ignition key and listen for a solenoid click while checking the starter circuit connections.

Fix Suggestion: Secure loose wiring and renew the solenoid if it does not switch power to the starter.

Prevention Tip: Keep terminal connections clean and firmly attached during routine electrical inspections.

Repeated Solenoid Clicking

Quick Check: Examine the battery leads and solenoid contact points for corrosion, poor contact, or loose connections.

Fix Suggestion: Clean affected connections and address the solenoid if proper electrical input is present but switching remains faulty.

Prevention Tip: Protect electrical terminals from moisture and buildup during storage and service.

Starter Circuit Stays Open

Quick Check: Verify that the control wiring reaches the solenoid and that the terminals are firmly seated.

Fix Suggestion: Reconnect loose wires and renew the solenoid when the internal switching circuit does not close.

Prevention Tip: Route wiring securely to reduce strain on the solenoid terminals.

Corroded Electrical Terminals

Quick Check: Examine the solenoid terminals for oxidation, damaged connectors, or loose terminal hardware.

Fix Suggestion: Clean serviceable connections and fit a new solenoid if corrosion has affected the terminal area.

Prevention Tip: Inspect electrical connections periodically and keep exposed terminals protected from moisture.

Customer Experience: After noticing intermittent starting, a mower owner replaced the solenoid, restoring regular starter engagement.
