Solenoid replaced twice now replacing the third.

When I was servicing my Lawnmower, Stiga Park with 12,5hp Briggs and Stratton, I also replaced an old solenoid for a new one. The mower and engin were not used for several years. So I put a new solenoid on it to be sure it worked. The mower worked perfect and starting the B&S was excellent. When I sold the Lawnmower the new owner called me th same day and told me the engine didn't start with the key, just klicking. I went over and replaced the solenoid and everything was fine again. Two days later the new owner called me again and told me that the mower didn't start again with the key. I told him to shortcut the solenoid till I would come the replace the solenoid.

I like to know if someone can tell me if there is something that can cause the solenoid to burn through, or could it just be a matter off bad quallity? I saw that both replaced solenoid where made in China! Both replaced solenoids were new from the store but I couldn't return them to the shop because there was no quaranty on electric parts.

If someone has an idea, please tell me.
