Hi
I have a Scag Freedom Z mower, (It has a KT725 engine) it had battery charging issues which turned out to be the regulator.
I also had to clean and lubricate the starter cause it had locked up.
However after the engine was assembled and running with the new regulator the engine didn't have much power and would bog down to the point of stalling when mowing.
Eventually the engine backfired and cut out, and I haven't been able to get it to start since. I have tried adjusting the gap on the ignition coils incase that was wrong, replacing the fuel pump, and replacing the carburetor, but it still won't start, and will sometimes backfire loudly when I crank it.
It has spark, it gets fuel, and there's plenty of compression.
Any advice would be appreciated!
