Fuses are ok i have replaced the voltage reg. few yrs back.|||there are several safety switches on it that will not let it start. the blade(s) must be disengaged. if it is a rider unit there must be pressure on the seat to signify that there is a person on the seat. the clutch mechanism must detect that the clutch is fully disengaged. all of these are controlled by switches.|||fixed problem it was the coil's on both cylinders, mice had gotten up there and chewed the wires tks all

|||the starting switch may be grounding out,


need more info is it a electric start? with a key ? push button start %26gt;?|||I have an 18 HP Kohler that when it was hot would not start. I had to wait for about an hour to get spark. It was the ignition module. I replaced it and it works great again. I don't know what checks to do on the module to make sure that is what the problem is. If you remove the engine top cowling you can get to the module and disconnect the ground wire. This will tell you that the ground/shut off is not grounding somewhere. I assume that there are readings that you can take to determine if it is bad or not but I don't know what they are. If you need to buy a new modules try pats small engine plus. They had the best price.|||Start with the basics,try a new spark plug first.


plug wire look ok?


check for loose or disconnected wires from the ignition.


points clean and set properly,spark


electronic ignition system ok?
