Anyone have a gt 262 model that they had a problem with it not starting. It
cranks and turns just no spark to my plug.
Already checked seat safety switch, replaced plug, coil. No luck. I am
getting fuel to my plug because when I pulled my old plug out, it was wet
with gas. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks,
Rick

Hey Bob,
No, haven't changed oil recently, but did check level. I know that on
some mowers they do have a safety device to keep you from ruining an engine
when oil level/pressure is too low. My engine is a Kawasaki 17 hp. Has new
fuel, new fuel filter. I already replaced my plug and wire which comes with
a new coil.
still now luck.
I know its going to be something fairly simple when I find it, its just
frustrating not knowing what it is. I'm at the point of taking it in to my
dealer now.
Anyway, thanks for replying.

Rick

Did you just change the oil?
Some of the Kohler models I think had an oil psi/level sensor. Then again
I
might be thinking of a Mitsubishi.
Other possibilties include poor quality fuel. (naw)
holed piston (naw)
no rings (naw)
Cheapest thing is to replace the spark plug/s and wires. Then start into
the
more invasive stuff.

If you remove the ring around the ignition switch where the key is inserted, you can work the ignition module out of the dash- (raise the hood and reach in from behind the switch) There are 2 fuses on the module. Most likely you have a blown fuse.
