Hey guys, really need some help here :-(. I'm usually pretty mechanically inclined when it comes to larger engines but I'm still learning the smaller ones.
Equipment: Log Splitter
Brand: Dirty Hand Tools 27 Ton
Engine: Kohler
Model: SH-265
Series: SH 3000
I bought the splitter 2 years ago, Brand New and it worked great until I let someone borrow it who preceded to leave it in the rain for several days and now it:
Cranks but will not start.
I replaced the Carb with a brand new unit as the bowl was rusted on the original. I drained all the old fuel before replacing the carb. I bypassed the on/off switch, still nothing. I pulled the plug and grounded it against the exhaust manifold and saw spark when the engine was rotated heavily, however, I could not see spark unless the plug was grounded.
Before I start throwing ignition system components at it (as there fairly expensive) I was hoping someone here could help me.
