Could a failing Starter Solenoid cause the TORO TIMECUTTER SS4225 to have symptom: Nothing Happens Key Turned?

The starter solenoid is the primary electromechanical gate between the battery and the starter motor. Internally, an electromagnetic coil moves a plunger to bridge high-amperage contacts; these contacts frequently succumb to resistive carbon fouling or mechanical fatigue in the return spring. When this component fails, the electrical path to the starter remains open, resulting in zero mechanical response from the engine when the key is turned to the start position.
