have reasearched everything I can from Google on 430 John Deere Garden tractors. I am at a stand still on my 430 and could use help if you find time. The tractor has had no issues until it would not start unless i manually pulled the fuel solenoid back when I did it would stay running. The fuel solenoid would sometimes take a few seconds or so then pullback and at times not at all but would show aprox 6.9v at the white wire of the fuel solenoid . I replaced the fuel solenoid because after time it would not stay pulled in/back and now There are times it will pull back then It starts to crank and it trips the reset button. Continues to trip the reset button now after a second or so and will not run. Any ideas? Thank you for your time

Check linkages for wear causing binding which draws more power for the solenoid to move/hold. Also the re-settable circuit breaker may be weak and tripping at a lower amp than when new. You would need to measure the current draw with a meter that can do DC amps (range of 20 amps). Amp meter would be in series to the solenoid.

Like what BRG said, check your linkages for it. They can definitely become kinda crusty/rusty, and will make some resistance. Also, I see your pfp, your 430 is gorgeous! What year is it?

Thanks for the help. It was the fuel solenoid linkage being out of adjustment. Sure was nice to hear the 1986 Yanmar make good noises again. Ordered a technical service manual. I restored it last winter and have enjoyed plowing, discing and plugging the yard with it! I use it as a tractor then wash it lol.
