Questionmy mower is a Snapper zero turn with a 18 hp Kohler command engine.PROBLEM- wont start.I have good spark, good gas and good compresson. The battery is strong, turns the engine over rapidly yet I dont get an hint of ignition. I have removed the spark plug and put a measured amount of fuel directly into the firing chamber using a syringe. Same result, no ignition what so ever. All of the safety kill switches work properly, the compression equals 75 lb, the spark gap is same as manual specifies, the fuek pump works properly and the fuel filter is clean. I am stumped, is there anyone out there that can help me. I have no way to transport the mower to a shop. Thanks, richard
AnswerRichard
before you blame someone on there not reading the question. You need to think about what you have wrote!
"You said you have good spark" How do you know it is Good are you a expert???
"You said you have good gas and good compression Tell me Richard what is the Compression supposed to be on a 18 Hp Kohler engine not what you tested read a engine manual that will tell you your compression? You also didn't read my information on what I need to answer a question.If you don't remember I will inform you.
"I will answer most questions related to this field of small engine repairs,servicing them and trouble shooting problem.Can not answer questions with out the proper Engine Model#,Spec # and Manafacture."
I was giving you a answer on a specic question you gave me.Your problem is spark because if you have spark and air and a fuel the engine will start. If the spark is not up to par Guess what IT WONT START!!!!!!!!

SOUNDS LIKE THE COIL SYSTEM IS THE PROBLEM BY NOT PUTTING OUT ANY SPARK.If you give me the mod# and spec # I can get you a part # and may have one in stock.
