QuestionI have less than 20 hours on my new Cub ltx 1046 with the Kohler® Courage® V-Twin OHV engine. The problem appears to be w weak charging system / bad battery. What happens is when I go to start the enging, or restart it, sometimes it will not crank past the compression stroke. I can manually turn the engine over by hand. Adding jumper cables to the battery works at getting it started, or spinning the engine with a 1/2" drill will also get it to start. I've replaced the battery, and the gauge shows that the voltage is at 14 volts once the engine starts. Could it be a weak starter motor?
Thanks for your thought!
