You won't be able to get one at Lowes or Home Depot but any generic automotive starter relay oughta work. Go to NAPA and they can fix you up.

Are you sure that your battery is OK? Have you checked the wiring and connections?

It sounds more like a dead battery to me. I wouldn't buy a new relay until I ruled out the other possibilities.

yes, i cleanedall the connections to and from the starter and to and from the the relay switch and to the battery still the same....

Craig, I replaced mine with one for a Riding lawn mower a few months ago and it has worked fine. The mounting holes even lined up perfectly. It cost around $14. Make sure that there is at least 12v to ground at the solenoid though other wise it will never work. 11.98v to ground isn't enough, it's gotta be twelve.

where is the relay located? Mine just went out yesterday on my 1100gl and I need to replace it. The starter will turn over, but not from the starter button. I checked everything and it seems to be fairly clean. Also, what kind of relay would I need to use. The lawnmower theory sounds good, but are all the relays the same, or do I need a particular one? Thanks a bunch guys, you are the best!
