My neighbor called this am and said his Troybilt lawn tractor wouldn't run. It's brand new; he purchased it in April of this year. I didn't want to tackle taking the carb off but did and found it clean. It's a Kohler Courage 20 and is 597cc with full pressure lube. The tractor is a Troybilt Bronco. Long story short it will crank with a shot of carb cleaner and CONTINUE to run. Once it's shut off it will not crank. It has good fuel flow, good spark and I assume good compression since it's brand new. I checked the oil and found it low but after topping it off it still did the same. I also checked for any obvious safety switch problems but found nothing abnormal as far as I could see.
Any ideas? Any and all will be appreciated.
