Hi all,
I just bought my first garden tractor, a used MTD gold with a Kohler 25 hp courage twin, and like a lot of others had starting problems.
So I adjusted the valves and didn't see much improvement and was going to take another crack at it when during the course of working on it unplugged the switch under the seat and forgot to plug it back in.
Now it turns over immediately, no half measures... no "stopping on the compression stroke"....(and I can dismount without the engine stopping), unsafe I know but if that's the problem it may help others with trouble shooting the starter circuit.
