Help

[Wyokid]

I need some help. I have a Kohler 24hp 7000 series on a Craftsman zero turn. This spring I took it for the maiden voyage mowing and ran it out of gas. I refueled it and it was missing on one cylinder. After some research I did a coil upgrade that didn't help. I took it to the local small engine repair shop where it has been for 3 MONTHS. They called to report that they changed the carb and the muffler and it is still missing and running hot. They recommended a new motor for $1,800. It has 70 hours and has been flawless and gently used. What are they missing?

Negative on all that....take it to a shop that didn't just hang their open sign, last week!

When it ran out of gas, did it quit gently, or were there backfires or bucking?

It stopped running pretty fast
