Hi,
I have a 3 year old Craftsman garden tractor which will not start. It has
a Kohler 23 HP V-twin engine. I replaced the starter and the solenoid
assembly.
When I turn the ignition key, the starter spins but will not start the
engine. How can I prime the engine at the pulse fuel pump to start the
engine?
Would the fuel pump be bad at 3 years?
Well if the starter, solenoid, battery,spark plugs, and fuel filter were
bad, why wouldn't the fuel pump be bad ?
Do we assume you are using this machine commercially ?
You said the starter spins but you didn't say if the starter is spinning the
motor. Is the bendix gear engaging ?
Or should I test the ignition unit? How can i test it?. Is it common for
the ignition unit to fail on a garden tractor?
The battery, spark plugs, fuel and air filters are all new.
Would appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks,
Jeff Mattison
