Owning one of these mowers the first question what HP kawa and what size deck? Well known the 60 inch deck is a little too big for the motor When it’s running perfect. What do you mean tall grass?? What species and how tall. Valves checked at 300hours?

It helps a great deal to turn these mowers the way you’re suppose to.I know I’m guilty of speed mowing myself. A tell tale sign is ripping up lawn while turning Especially in wet conditions. If you’re ripping tires off the rim imagine the pressure you’re putting on the axles et.

I had a brand new zero turn with a Kohler motor that would run for 10 minutes and shut off, dealer said they had this problem with others and it was a casting flaw that was blocking a hole i forgot where. They shipped it back to me and Instead of using new valve cover gasket used red silicone...

The proper way to test a coil is with an oscilloscope You cannot test a coil properly with an ohm meter.

Does a John deer even have a magneto? Does it fly? As others said it’s probably your coil an easy quick check with a $5 spark check tool. Someone mentioned putting a meter on it to check ohm but you might not get a bad reading with an intermittent coil issue. Start simple, obvious, easy and cheap.

This problem happened because of poor prep before powder coating, Hustler knows this

Better off removing deck having it sandblasted and powder coated or painted on your own, that way it will get done fast.

Try spraying your deck with fluid film or something similar makes a huge difference

Get a small bottle or container and start mower by pouring some gas down carb keep it running by trickling a little fuel at a time and that should get everything primed and running. This happens to both my golf cart and mower once in awhile. Not sure your gonna get any readings with a vacuum...

After several issues with my Kohler 7000 series along with poor dealership response, Hustler delivered a brand new mower to my house this morning fitted with a Kawasaki motor.

After many problems with my new sd with a Kohler 7000 series that continued to cause issues along with poor service from local dealers Hustler delivered a brand new mower this morning with a Kawasaki motor. Can't say enough about the NY rep Mike who personally delivered it.

Stay away from the Kohler 7000 series it's junk! And while your at it stay away from Hustler biggest piece of crap I ever bought.

My hustler stalled after warmup out of the box. Was told it was a casting flaw on some of the Kohler 7000 series motors messing up crankcase pressure which runs the fuel pump. Got mower back yesterday and still have the same problem. I guess they don't check their work and to add insult to...

So I finally got my mower back yesterday and they delivered it with the same problem. Mower stalls after warmup and it was supposedly caused by a casting flaw under valve cover on fuel pump side. Mower was delivered with rtv silicone used on valve cover?? I've had it with this motor and the...

A casting flaw in a oil galley on random 7000 series Kohler motors causes incorrect crankcase pressure at fuel pump which causes running issues after warm up. Just talked to tech at Hustler and he confirmed. If Kohler knew about this how come there was no service bulletin issued?? If your going...
