    JD X300 Kawi FH651V dies then won't start

    Can do! I'm at Fire School this week so it'll be next weekend. Hopefully I get enough ideas here that I can get it sorted next weekend.

    JD X300 Kawi FH651V dies then won't start

    So I'm at a loss here. We start the mower, it rides and runs great for whatever length of time, it's inconsistent, but all of a sudden it sounds like I've come out of the seat and the seat switch has cut power. Sometimes it's just a second and then keeps running, but mostly it just dies. I'll...

    BTW it's a 651, not 661, my bad on that. final update: it was officially just the bad coil pack. I was hesitant to order parts cause I have done that so many times and just wasted money. Anyways, I swapped the original coil packs' location to test if it was just that. The other side started...

    Update: I went for a test drive on Sunday and realized it is still dropping a cylinder after getting going, though it fires back up intermittently. It seems that the pack is the issue since it is now intermittently working on the other cylinder. SO.....Maybe it has to do with the spacing, maybe...

    Good news @OzPete it looks like the coil pack had rattled loose, and its spacing was far enough back the magnet was not sending an ignition signal. I got it fixed this morning and it seems as though it’s running properly. I pulled the good coil, mounted it on the bad side, fired right up, I then...

    The machine was purchased brand new from my father, has never needed to go into the shop. Pulled the plug on the right side with no change, it immediately died when I pulled the right side pkug(obviously) so hopefully I can swap over the coil pack in the morning and make sure it’s just the coil...

    @OzPete That's the test I was mixing up with the valve adjustment issue, where you remove the plug or ground it out while running. Anyway, after the seafoam treatment, the engine was running a bit smoother, I went ahead and swapped out the fuel filter, then found out the air filter was the...

    We'll agree to disagree on the Seafoam. The seafoam treatment I'm doing is to remove water from the system, it's quite common, many mechanic friends I have swear by it and I'm not using it on a modern, highly advanced motor(per Scotty up there) so I should be fine. Since the Kawi doesn't have O2...

    Hello all, I'm new, as most of these posts start, and recently was gifted an X320 from my father after my first home purchase and adding 3.3 acres to my weekly "to-do" list. First off, I love the mower, my dad took immaculate care of this thing, and other than a little paint correction, it...
