    A John Deere link (don't recall which thread) took me to a russian JD manual site - that looked like an authentic JD manual site !:~\

    I forgot to ask you "where to find that manual for $39" ? I wouldn't mind if it's an older one, as our GT225 is a 2003. Thanks.

    Thanks for that info ;-) I've been considering returning our 3.2L for a 6L that's selling for only $21 more. Or, as mentioned abv, returning for refund since we'd probably rarely use it.

    Thanks for that yard sale/used crock pot idea! I may just try that this winter !;-) We considering returning the ultrasonic cleaner, even though it did make the Mrs's jewelry really sparkle, we'd probably rarely use it.

    That was it! The magneto ignition module! Even though the existing one looked fine & w/good .010 gap, and good kill wire & spark wire.... as soon as I replaced it with a new magneto ignition module, (ehem, in a rather Chevy Chase-esque 'Sparky' sort of way :~\ ), the GT225 fires right up every...

    Our mower is 2003 GT225. Sorry to hear that you can't tell me. :rolleyes: :unsure: Yeah, that's why I sashayed quick like outta there, back-spacing ferociously while cursing the russkies! Then immediately called bank, cancelled card &c.

    Not trying to be disrespectful here but you sure don't know whatever the hell you think you're talking about.

    X320 Won't start

    I'm not one qualified to give advice, but until the pro's post their advice here, which I'm sure will help get you going, in the interim, I'll just mention that I have read similar threads of similar issues, and as I recall, it was typically either the fuse for the ignition switch and/or for the...

    CV15S start=sputtering, backfire, surging. Fuel off=runs great then dies (obviousy)

    Copy that. I haven't done anything yet. It fired right up yesterday like it was brand new; ran beautifully, not even a sputter, seemingly, as I mentioned above, even better than when it was new. But then, as before, it wouldn't start after I shut it off to blow all the grass off before backing...

    CV15S start=sputtering, backfire, surging. Fuel off=runs great then dies (obviousy)

    It's starting fine when cold; runs super great, never even sputters, in fact, it seems to run better now than when it was brand new! All it's doing.... is not restarting after being shut-off and while still warm. So hardly a need to take it to a service facility, until after I've done several of...

    Thank you, StarTech !;-) I guess that's something I'll have to skip then, as I don't have a 'pressure/vac tester', nor do I have a 'pressure line', but only a Makita 3 Gal compressor these days, although it does dial down very accurately to low pressures. And I only have the standard 3/8" air...

    Kroller CV15S won't start without staring fluid

    Really appreciate you replying, and your answers; they'll help. ;) I found a Kohler # 12-559-02-S OEM fuel pump—on the Brazilian River site w/free Prime ship— that says it's "Brand New Genuine [Stens] Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part for Kohler...

    Kroller CV15S won't start without staring fluid

    Hi slomo, Did the new fuel pump do the trick? I just enjoyed reading thru this thread, and was thinking I should probably have a new fuel pump on hand as spare. I found this part # online [ Kohler Fuel Pump - Part No. 12 559 02-S - AKA Part No. 1255902S - Supersedes 12 559 01-S ]. If you can...

    Okay. Not clear. Leave spark plug in spark plug wire and ground plug with something like an alligator clip to frame? As I only have two hands. Btw, plug is already on far side of engine. And not sure how I'd hold the float up whilst cranking engine, cuz if I'm not mistaken, one needs to depress...

It came from a bushy area - where all kinds of weird...

    The last time that our Craftsman 6.75hp mower wouldn't start, after hundreds of pulls on the starter cord, I noticed a tiny section of the cylinder head gasket hanging from the bottom of the cylinder head. So it was a blown head gasket & loss of compression issue. Ordered a new one from...
