Kohler/Ariens XT-7, AK173K22, now three years old. Had same problem starting last two years. In April, again I had a hard time getting it started. Succeeded finally, using SeaFoam, higher octane gas, Valvoline engine starter spray. Then it started easily and ran fine into May. Three days ago I got interrupted halfway through mowing the front yard. An hour later, it would not start. Has not started since. What is different now? 1) smell of gas and evidence of slow drip, 2) air filter seems damp with gas, small amount of gas pools at bottom of air intake. When I pull the starter, nothing happens... no change after 20 pulls.
I have tried to find an engine schematic. No luck. Nothing downloadable that I can locate. I would have no idea what to look for or where anyway. Mfgrs have not been helpful.
Suggestions? Ideas?
