After it died while operating I went to restart it. No lights, no buzzing, no clicking... nothing whatsoever. Tested the switch for power, no power. Had blown fuse and replaced it. Tested power in fuse box, no power. Tested power at starter, has power. Noticed something behind fuse box, I am not sure what it is but it has power to it. I jumped the two posts on it and I got power to my switch, lights and everything seemed to be working. I turned the key and it turned over but it did not start. I pulled my jumper and tried to start it again and nothing. I rejumped the two posts and when I turn the key I got a flash like something popped and now I get nothing from jumping it. Anyone have ANY clues that can help me. What perhaps the original problem was or what the new problem could be? I rechecked the fuses and they are all good. Stumped! I do not know about the relays. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Could it be an issue with the fuse box? Some times the contacts on the fuse holders get corroded

On the right hand side of the machine just behind the rops there are three main harness connections, I have seen the pins corrode inside of the plugs, there is also a main fuse there I would check there first, also the harness just above the bell housing is susceptible to wear due to vibration
