You may find all is good, just need to allow the battery voltage to grow from a low level to full. Put on a charger. measure key on engine off, key on engine running. If an increase, system is charging.

Lots of ideas! You do not have a solenoid coil balance tester, so solenoid was not really tested. solenoid, flywheel, battery, terminals, cables, valve lash/rocker arms, hydro lock, seized, and I might come up with a dozen more. Pull the plugs and start by seeing if it cranks over.

Still probable fuel delivery. Do not forget throttle level means nothing of carb throttle opening as the governor changes throttle opening to attempt to maintain the same rpm. Most carbs have a low speed and a high speed circuit. Most twins will come to almost full speed without a load using...

I would have tried 9 PSI first! and learning about zero turn traction issues. Talk to a seasoned operator who operates on side slopes. Zero turn = zero traction in comparison to a tractor when backing and spot turning and most noticed backing up a slope.

I was about to post similarly and thankful for this correct post. Now on to diagnosis. After checking that coil resistance, still with the fuse out and the coil disconnected, ( and the battery disconnected just for safety of the odd unknown), read the resistance of the balance of the tractors...

What you describe is a very common outcome. The starter doing more than designed to do, instead of 80-100 amps is cranking slow and less spark as a result and drawing 200-300 amps. It leads every one to think it is a failing starter. Eventually it is and replaced, but does not solve the problem...

Float, needle and seat in carb.

Not all small engines pump oil to valve chamber, instead that area is splash lubed thru the channels of the push rods. Why do you feel you have no oil pressure and what sent you lookig for it's loss?

When a small engine quits suddenly, it is often spark not fuel. The Kawasaki 's most often have a trigger on the side of the block easily replaced which can be intermittent. you can buy a cheap inline spark neon bulb to watch if the spark disappears when it quits.

Battery, cables, starter or valve adjustment. If valves have not been adjusted and have worn .002" loser than original, the decompression is not going to work, the starter and battery cannot withstand the additional compression and it acts like battery or starter or discharge more than can...
