For any genius out there. - Kohler Courage 18
- Just started it, moved it from the garage, turned it off. When back to restart and...
- Will not start or even turn over.
- Starter/ Solenoid clicks (with a small whistle)
- Starter will not turn.
- Disconnected cable connects at battery, at selanoid, at starter. Cleaned with steel wool. The machine is three yrs old so most connections were not "dirty".
- Reconnected - same result. Clicks and a light whistle.
- Cross over the two poles on the switch/solenoid, small amount of sparks arrupted (as expected) but the starter did not turn over.
- I sat on the seat to depress the safety switch. I set the brake. I engaged and released the blade pto.
- Still, only clicks.
- Does anyone know what is happening?
- Is it a starter problem? A solenoid problem? Is the dang engine locked up?
