    Kohler engine not getting gas to engine

    excellent. Yes, it is coming out fast and when I shut it down, it was starting to do the rhythm. My fuel filter is now full of gas and so it should run well now. I thought I'd go ahead and take the carb off and clean it while I've got it broken down. Does anyone know what the compression...

    Blowing fuse after changing solenoid and starter

    Blowing fuse after changing solenoid and starter

    Not sure what a rectifier is but I will trace the fuse wire back again. It looked like one side went to the ignition switch. I'll have to check where the other side went. I will also look for an alternator. I didn't even know it had an alternator.

    Blowing fuse after changing solenoid and starter

    Thanks Dave for your question. It made me go out and bust another fuse to make sure I had the right answer. It starts and runs fine until I move. About 4-5 seconds after I go forwards or backwards, it trips.

    Blowing fuse after changing solenoid and starter

    I have a Bad Boy ZT Pro Series with a 27 HP Kohler. It has worked great for many years. The starter quit on me the other day and I replaced the starter and solenoid. Now, when I start it, it runs for 5 seconds and then as I start to drive, it dies and the main 25 amp fuse beside the solenoid...
