John Deere 855 starts and then stops after 2 seconds.
The fuel shut off solenoid has two separate windings, energize and hold. The symtom of 2-3 seconds run is likely the fuel solenoid energizing during start cycle but a failure with solenoid hold when the ignition switch is released to the RUN position. Suggest you verify the hold circuit and solenoid hold winding are working.
John Deere RX-75 mower has no spark.
Check magneto kill shunt is open to Battery negative. This requires the Neutral/Start relay is energized. N/S relay energized requires the ignition switch is in RUN or START position and transmission neutral switch is closed (neutral).

John Deere S240 - New Solenoid, still wont start
Available wiring diagram shows a VT/WT wire feeding the control side of the solenoid that is grounded to frame. To test the solenoid connect the VT/ WT wire side of solenoid to battery positive with a fused jumper. If the engine cranks then follow the WT/VT back through the safety circuits. If the engine doesn't crank then the problem is localized to solenoid and ground.
