Does the ignition key switch need to be grounded and could that be the problem??

Hello Slomo, Regarding the previous Kohler Magnum engine ( in a Dig-It 198T compact industrial tractor) posting above that you helped me with, I'm having another problem with that unit. From time to time the engine will not start. When I check for spark there is none. This problem happened...

Hello Slomo, just to let you know that I solved my problem. It turns out that the tractor is equipped with a neutral start switch on the hydrostatic drive control peddle and both of the wires were disconnected. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. All for now, Larry.

Hello Slomo, There is nothing on the starter side of the solenoid with the key in the on position. Very few mice, engine is a Kohler Magnum model M1809 and it is installed in a Dig It 198T compact industrial tractor. All for now, Larry.

Kohler magnum 18hp will not turn over when the electric start key is turned to the start position. If I put the key in the on position and cross the post on the solenoid the starter will engage and the engine will turn over and start.
