My TigerCat is a 2013 STC52V-691FX and has been a wonderful piece of equipment to date. Week and a half ago we had a nice couple of days and my wife was anxious to get outside and wanted to mow a few spots. I went out to make sure it was ready; checked oil and air filter, hopped aboard,inserted key cranked and fired right up. Well, it fired but didn't keep running. Funny thing was no matter what I did I couldn't get it to turn over again. Moved all the controls, parking brake, to no avail. I was bummed. After reading all the woes of experienced operators I hoped I'd be spared. Even studied the manuals electrical schematic a bit but hope I never need to fully comprehend it. I'm no mechanic although I change my own oil and filters.
Then shortly before sundown just for the heck of I thought I'd go out and give her one more try. Sat in the seat, moved levers out, operated parking brake, turned the key and without any hesitation she fired right up and continued running strong. Wife heard it and came right out motioning me to get off and let her have it. She mowed for an hour or so and brought her in.
So today I go out, set choke, throttle, turn key and it fires and like an idiot I immediately release the key. Engine is not running and turning the key gets no response. I'm growing weary of this already. Any idea what it might be?
