Hi Everybody, first post but been reading threads here for a while.
I have a Kawasaki-powered Deere SX75 rear engine rider. It starts great the first time, but after I run it for 20-30 minutes or more, it will NOT restart for love or money. I can mow with the machine for an hour and there are no symptoms of issues until I shut it off and then no way will it restart. No amount of cranking will produce even a cough or sputter. Choke or throttle setting changes do nothing.
The battery is good, just replaced it in May.
Last fall I replaced the "igniter" module after it refused to start at all back in October. That seemed to solve that problem, however, and it has run fine until 2 weeks ago when the current problem started.
Anybody have any ideas?
I'm thinking coil. However... Does anyone know how to test the coil in this machine? I want to be dang sure this is right before I go parts swapping because the coil for this machine is $100! Yikes.
Any other ideas would be very helpful.
Thanks.
Grouse
