I forgot to ask you "where to find that manual for $39" ? I wouldn't mind if it's an older one, as our GT225 is a 2003. Thanks.

. . of the spam poster at #38 ? How do those pestilent robot-spams typically land willy-nilly throughout the www of forums &c?

Thanks for that info ;-) I've been considering returning our 3.2L for a 6L that's selling for only $21 more. Or, as mentioned abv, returning for refund since we'd probably rarely use it.

My much better half says she has FIVE old ones that she's been meaning to sell in garages sales! 🤪 I think a few are from her mother & aunt. I'll have to commandeer one !;-)

Thanks for that yard sale/used crock pot idea! I may just try that this winter !;-) We considering returning the ultrasonic cleaner, even though it did make the Mrs's jewelry really sparkle, we'd probably rarely use it.

That was it! The magneto ignition module! Even though the existing one looked fine & w/good .010 gap, and good kill wire & spark wire.... as soon as I replaced it with a new magneto ignition module, (ehem, in a rather Chevy Chase-esque 'Sparky' sort of way :~\ ), the GT225 fires right up every...

Our mower is 2003 GT225. Sorry to hear that you can't tell me. :rolleyes: :unsure: Yeah, that's why I sashayed quick like outta there, back-spacing ferociously while cursing the russkies! Then immediately called bank, cancelled card &c.

Not trying to be disrespectful here but you sure don't know whatever the hell you think you're talking about. I've already done several of the "troubleshooting procedures", as well as replaced entire engines. So "from the sound of it"....your reading skills and assumption abilities are "next to...

I'm not one qualified to give advice, but until the pro's post their advice here, which I'm sure will help get you going, in the interim, I'll just mention that I have read similar threads of similar issues, and as I recall, it was typically either the fuse for the ignition switch and/or for the...

Thanks very much, slomo !;-) That's exactly what I figured, after reading your post(s). Really appreciate your kind help & advise !

Copy that. I haven't done anything yet. It fired right up yesterday like it was brand new; ran beautifully, not even a sputter, seemingly, as I mentioned above, even better than when it was new. But then, as before, it wouldn't start after I shut it off to blow all the grass off before backing...

It's starting fine when cold; runs super great, never even sputters, in fact, it seems to run better now than when it was brand new! All it's doing.... is not restarting after being shut-off and while still warm. So hardly a need to take it to a service facility, until after I've done several of...

Thank you, StarTech !;-) I guess that's something I'll have to skip then, as I don't have a 'pressure/vac tester', nor do I have a 'pressure line', but only a Makita 3 Gal compressor these days, although it does dial down very accurately to low pressures. And I only have the standard 3/8" air...

Thanks Rivets. ;-) Was wondering after reading of the tests being suggested on some threads.

I realize this is an old thread, but I'm seeking some clarification on this test procedure. Do you do the above ^ with the engine running or off? When Bertsmobile was kindly trying to explain the test procedure to me, the other day, I wasn't understanding what he meant by 'pressurizing the fuel...

Really appreciate you replying, and your answers; they'll help. ;) I found a Kohler # 12-559-02-S OEM fuel pump—on the Brazilian River site w/free Prime ship— that says it's "Brand New Genuine [Stens] Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part for Kohler... We are an Authorized Kohler Dealer"...

Hi slomo, Did the new fuel pump do the trick? I just enjoyed reading thru this thread, and was thinking I should probably have a new fuel pump on hand as spare. I found this part # online [ Kohler Fuel Pump - Part No. 12 559 02-S - AKA Part No. 1255902S - Supersedes 12 559 01-S ]. If you can...

Hello and a belated Welcome to the forum !;-) We're from Washington State as well; born & raised. Currently really missing the Great Northwest, as we're in Michigan taking care of elderly family. Hope you're finding the forums useful & enjoyable...

Thanks Fish !;-) I'll try to remember that !;-)

Thanks again everyone for your suggestions & advice !;-) I really appreciate the help & advise. I'll try to work on them over the weekend and report back next week.

Thanks very much for all your advise, slomo !;-) I will check it all, including the safety switch 'adjustment height'. Okay thanks. ;-) It did fill back up eventually. I will check the flow at the carb; need to go buy a shutoff & some extra fuel line first. ;-) Did install a new filter last...

Thanks, Fish !;-) I will try that too! I wonder if it might help to shutoff the fuel before turning off the ignition switch?

Oh!.... put the parking brake on? So the brake/clutch pedal safety switch is depressed? Duh! Why didn't I think of that? !;-) Then stand by carb and reach over to turn key-- before pressing the float up? Or press the float up first? Thanks again for explaining. ;) And so by "pressurizing the...

Thank you, StarTech !;-) I did purchase a brand new Kohler ignition module last summer, just to have as a spare, so it's still sitting new in the box, but I wasn't thinking that could be the problem—or that there was any issue with the IM—since I cleaned the grass from it, and the engine...

Thank you, slomo !;-) I did look at the switch, and press it with my finger, and it does feel like it's working. And if I don't push the brake/clutch pedal fully forward to engage the switch....the ignition switch doesn't work and the engine doesn't crank. But if I do push the brake/clutch...

Okay. Not clear. Leave spark plug in spark plug wire and ground plug with something like an alligator clip to frame? As I only have two hands. Btw, plug is already on far side of engine. And not sure how I'd hold the float up whilst cranking engine, cuz if I'm not mistaken, one needs to depress...

Thanks, 1--- Do those things instead of the ultrasonic bath? 2--- When I do that, with the engine off, I get maybe 3~4 tablespoons of gas in the plastic bowl I set below carb before unscrewing the fuel solenoid. After screwing the fuel solenoid back in (btw, should the fuel solenoid be causing...

. . . I went and ordered an ultrasonic cleaner today (even though there's massive amounts of reviews stating that they all pretty much quit working or break after awhile :~\), and figured I'd try cleaning the carb — and seeing if that helps it start better, before resorting to installing the...

Hi Bert ! Hope all is well with You & Yours down under. ;) You know, that sounds exactly like what is happening and what the condition/issue is ! Everything you described there...is what it feels and sounds and smells like is happening! What am I to do ?;-)

Thanks sgkent !;-) Yes, that's the carb I ordered last year, but haven't installed yet. It is the Kohler replacement; was $165 @ SES. I haven't touched or checked the fuel pump, other than fuel flow to the carb does look good. I do clean the air filter almost every time I mow; replaced it last...

Hello to all -- Any help will be much appreciated. I believe it's the original Walbro carb (# 75 3349 1205393). Last year it had a broken fuel solenoid wire and was having starting problems, and some very helpful gentlemen here suggested that I forget about the wire, and cut-off the little...

Well, I do remember that the more I re-pulled the starter rope, the more numb I felt. Until eventually, after what seemed like more than a hundred pulls . . . I apparently turned into a numbskull. ? But no, everything felt and looked normal as ever. So I had no idea why it wasn't starting, as...

I have no expertise and/or advice, as the many experts do above, but just recently I did find a best price - for the carburetor and fuel pump and ignition module - I was looking for at: smallenginepartssuppliers .com ; oem parts w/quick delivery.

The last time that our Craftsman 6.75hp mower wouldn't start, after hundreds of pulls on the starter cord, I noticed a tiny section of the cylinder head gasket hanging from the bottom of the cylinder head. So it was a blown head gasket & loss of compression issue. Ordered a new one from...

Is it still not moving?

Thanks slomo !;-) That's what our ignition module looks like. And I was wondering if that's what's often also referred to as coils - on mowers/tractors ? Semantics?

OP — Hope you don't mind me interjecting a pretty dumb question. [insert inexplicably missing *embarrassed* emoticon] Dear slomo — While it's embarrassing to show my ignorance, I must admit that everytime I read forum posts mentioning 'coil's on lawn & garden tractor forum threads... I usually...

Very similar symptoms happened with our GT225 garden tractor, after it had sat for a long while, even though our battery registered 12.1~3 volts (with no load); as well, after charging & jumping the JD STStrongBox battery— that looked to be in great shape, with good electrolyte levels —there was...

Have you checked the voltage on your battery? I've read about discharged batteries causing the same symptoms as you've described. A fully charged battery should be 12.6v+ ; moreover, having your battery 'load tested' reveals the true condition of your battery, and many auto parts stores will...

Hello and welcome aboard, fellow 'Forum Newbie' =)) I've only been here for 13 days, but I figure that's long enough to welcome others !=)) I've read several times, here on this forum as well as at others, that it's never recommended or a good idea to disconnect, 'disable' and/or bypass the...

Thanks again, got it ;-) I really appreciate your help.

Thank you very much, Scrubcadet10 !;-) Oh too bad it's deactivating later this year. I logged-in as guest; CV15S-41571 doesn't match anything, but I'll explore until I find it.

Thanks very much for reply, Scrubcadet10 ;-) I'm seeing a different diagram and parts list at: partscatalog.deere.com , but I can see where the valve lifters are specified as: 'LIFTER, VALVE HYDRAULIC' - for our CV15S. So at this point I won't be pulling the valve cover off, thankfully. Where is...

. . .These threads that just end like this drive me nuts ! :rolleyes: Nonetheless I really appreciate being able to read all the replies & suggestions & advice given - as it can help us all. Scrubcadet10 — If you see this, how do you tell if the lifters are hydraulic and therefore not in need...

Back to current problems . . . . yesterday, after installing a cheap fuel shutoff solenoid —that I unscrewed from a cheap $20 carb that I inexplicably ordered last summer via amaz, and wiring the connector— our engine started right up and ran as great as it's ever run for over an hour— my wife...

That's interesting. Have always wanted to visit Australia but alas it never quite worked out. =( One of my daughters visited several times whilst she lived for a year on Papua New Guinea. Hearing of your Kogerah Bay.... reminds of that very moving and haunting song I've always really liked...

Woo-wee! Gosh, that is a warm winter! Those are the same as our mid-summer temps in our Pacific Northwest !:-0 Hopefully you'll get more rain and lots of it, but not too much (unusually catastrophic floods seemingly happening all over the planet currently), so that your drought and fire season...
