I'll check that out thank you

Ok then.

.....aight then.

I need to mow so I'm in a hurry. Maybe I'll order the dB one and keep the China one for a backup. Thank you.

Someone mentioned it might he shorted out for some reason? It's a Kholer SV735s 26 hp engine on a craftsman YTS 4500.

That may be true but I don't have $250 for a kholer brand starter lol.

I'll probably just get another one they're only about $50 new. I did ground it while I was testing it. Thank you all for the feedback. Is there a way to test the stator?

I mean I was barely tapping it and the motor would not turn either way until I completely removed the starter. I'm assuming the starter shaft is locked up right?

I took the starter off and stuck power straight to the screw and it didn't turn. I'm assuming that means the starter is bad?

Hello all, I went out to try and start my 2009 craftsman yts4500 and it turned over 3 times and just suddenly stopped. Now when you try to turn it over it just makes one click and doesn't do anything. Battery is good and charged. The battery side of the solenoid has 12.6 volts but when you...

How would I check that? Taking the top flywheel off?

Wow, I noticed a yellow spark when I was testing the plug and didn't even know that was a thing. That is awesome. I'll be ordering a new coil today

Ok everyone so to recap, this is where I'm at. I've tried 3 different carbs, two of them flood the cylinder and soaked the spark plug completely. The other one didn't seem to feed it any gas at all. One of the two flooded ones was a Nikki, the other two were generic Chinese replacement carbs...

Do these motors have a timing key? Could it have lost time?

I cut the fuel solenoid plunger off to remedy any issues it would have. Tried to start it today and it's blowing gas out of the exhaust with the nikki carb back on it. So it's obviously flooding right? How do I remedy that?
