Hooked it up nothing happened, (it has a new solenoid, it's a new 4 field motor old 1 was 2.) so I took my trusty screwdriver and jumped the solenoid, motor ran, my question did the WM solenoid work by grounding? Here come the pictures...

  

  

  I got this push buttion switch wired it, now have to hold button down while moving the levers.

  here's where I mounted the switch.

Wish I could help,  the flow of current is critical with the wmz designs.  I have been told by allot of guru's engineering is engineering.  there is more to the picture than most folks want to see.Give wmz a call. they might be able to help.
only have a few chain saws I'm not suppose to use, but will at times, one dog Dolly, pretty good dog, just not sure what for yet,  working on getting the gardening back in order, and kinda thinking on maybe a small bbq bizz,  thinking about it,

You said you "jumped" the solenoid.  I'm assuming you jumped the excitation terminal to the battery terminal.

Seems like the older solenoids were activated by grounding the excitation terminal on the solenoid by connecting one terminal of the microswitch to ground and the other to the solenoid terminal.

You may have to move the wire from the microswitch that goes to ground to the "battery" side of the solenoid.  That will allow "hot" excitation of the solenoid.

Inside the hydro levers?

Yes, inside hydro levers.  Any motion of the levers actuates the microswitch to turn on the hydraulic pump.

Timing of the microswitch isn't really critical but it helps to get the hydraulic valve open before the pump puts pressure on the system.
