Craftsman Lawn Tractor Model No. 917.273480
Kohler Engine Model: CV624-65578 Twin V 20 HP
Engine will not start after sitting for 3-4 days without first introducing propane into the carburetor. Cold engine will start after three or four attempts to crank it for up to about 4 days of sitting, after that, it refuses to start until I feed propane to it. Once it starts the first time, it will fire up immediately on subsequent attempts. After starting, the engine runs great – smooth with good power. It appears to me that the engine is not getting any fuel when it refuses to start. Tractor is approximately 15-years old. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
