Someone out there have answers for me?? 
Hustler Barn Find
- Thread starter Skippydiesel
- Start date
Mice chewing wires. Fondle the entire harness feeling for bare or broken spots. Then continuity test from start to finish and across any and all connectors.
Use a jump box AFTER the solenoid. If she cranks it will CONFORM the solenoid is bad. All the electrical heavy lifting is done by the solenoid. Should be mandatory, if you replace a starter replace the solenoid.
Asian meaning Japan or the motherland China? If you want it to work get OEM. See if DB Electric has one for your machine.

Thanks Slomo,
All done - confirmed starter solenoid RS. New Starter/Solenoid assembly ordered.
Dont know where "DB Electric" is located - I am in NSW, Australia
"Fuel injectors are blue. Wondering if this may give a clue as to the hp???"
The above was the main question - still just guessing as to which Kohola engine I have.
Also - Where would I find a wiring diagram for the fuel injected engine?
I have contacted both Hustler & EPG/Rehico/Kohler engines Australia for help in identifying mower & engine - yet to see if they are up to it.

Are there no external features, which distinguish one fuel injected Kohler V -Twin from another?
I have read that the Bosh injectors have the part numbers etched into their side. If this is correct I may be able to find the PN. If so, did diffrent engine HP's have diffrent injectors?
Do the diffrent HP engines use diffrent ECU's?

Khola, Australia think the ECU is off a CV 745 (to be conformed).
If correct, this is then is a 25 or 27 hp engine.
Am I doing better than the Forum experts????

Chassis & cutter deck cleaned - took two days.
Chassis in good condition. Cutter deck will need to be removed for some of the underside grass flow baffles to be straightened & welded back in place.
So far it looks like blades & spindles in good order.
Engine has been partially dismantlement, to facilitate cleaning of cooling fins/system. Now reassembled (with new starter motor/solenoid) ready to mount in cleaned chassis.
Next big challenge will be wiring - its a mess (I think this mower has more relays than my ute) - start tomorrow.
If engine start's & runs okay, will reconnect belt drives & assess hydraulic system.
If all working will do an in-depth service; grease everything that moves, change all fluid's, belts, filters (fuel, air & hydraulic), spark plugs, hydraulic & fuel hoses. Front tyres , some depth wheels & operators seat, also need to be replaced.
