I'd try another temporary fuel tank first, to eliminate any questions about if it will run or not. If it runs, say for ten minutes with the auxiliary tank, then it will eliminate problems with the carb. Next thing i'd check is the breather hole in the gas cap. In fact, i'd do that first, then the aux. tank. Next would be to do a thorough cleaning of the tank, for a floater, or sinking floater, that might have found its way into the tank. See if the fuel pump does pump fuel thru itself-that is-see if it works, by cranking the engine with the plug wire off, and the pump outlet hose off its nipple on the carb. Just be careful, watch for squirting gas, as it will ignite fast! Don't burn yer house or garage down! Safety is king in this situation! I tender these suggestions with the assumption that you know the dangers of escaping gasoline, and its affinity of igniting from the careless cigarette in somebody's hand! Or mouth! (Sheesh!!) All safety precautions must be followed! HTH: Rusty J.

There is no TDC on a 445. Given that statement (and please take this the right way) I highly warn against "throwing parts" at a 445 to solve the problem. You can drop some serious $$$ on components and then find it's something very simple. Thorough diagnostics are needed. Since you are not getting the EFI light, nor fuel pump operation, nor spark, it sounds like your EFI module is not working. There is a fuse specifically for the EFI module, and it's not one of the two on the circuit board (where the green light is). By the way, the green means "all go" for start, so your safety systems are OK. I don't remember the exact location of the EFI fuse, but it's in a separate rubber holder that branches off the harness. It may have a rubber cap on it. It is in the circuit board area under the dash. Dig around behind there and look for it. It's a 15 amp I think.

Rocksoldier, unplug the connector at the PTO and see how many volts you're getting there; if you're not getting 12, your battery might be too low to activate the PTO. This happens on my Power King whenever the battery gets low - that is, the tractor runs fine, but the PTO won't engage. (Pull the connector wires loose, then have someone sit in the seat and activate the PTO switch, then take a reading of voltage in the connector.)

1st... Did you check the ground cable from the battery where it attaches to the motor/frame? Remove and clean the terminal with a wire brush? Could be a bad solinoid not making contact to the starter, are you sure the 'click' is the solinoid and not a safety relay? Get a test lamp, connect clip to ground or neg batt terminal, have someone turn the key to start while you touch the small terminal on the starter solinoid... if test light lights up power is getting from the battery through the fuse, safety interlocks and ignition switch. If no light then something is not allowing the power to flow to the solinoid. Next test if you are careful, get a in-line fuse holder and connect a wire to the plus + battery terminal, 5-10 amp fuse in line, disconect the small wire (nut or 1/4" quick connect terminal) and touch the other end of the wire to the solinoid terminal, keeping arms, legs, hair and other appendages clear of the motor. That should cause the solinoid to engage and spin the starter. Yes/No?? Last test, again real carefull to NOT touch the frame, surrounding metal etc... you could take a jumper cable and connect the two Big bolts on the solinoid if you can reach them, that should spin the starter even if the solinoid is bad. If it Does Not spin, then either the starter is bad or the 'brushes' are worn down and not making contact. Sometimes a little 'thump' with a hammer handle will jar things loose and you will get one-two more starts out of it. Please post back if you do these tests, AFTER each one! they get progresivly more hazardous to both man and machine, so it's best to do one at a time and get feedback before proceding to the next step.
