Hi all -
I have a Kohler 25 HP (CV724S) in a Craftsman GT 3000 and yesterday while mowing, I stopped to empty the grass from the hopper and it would not restart. When the ignition is engaged, the starter slams into the fly wheel as it should but only rotates a fraction of a degree. There is a new battery, fresh gas, the unit was operating perfectly at the point I shut it down. Removed starter and it tests OK. With plugs removed, the engine can be turned over with a 1/2" socket and drive by the main bolt on top. While it does turn and can eventually br turned 360 degrees, it seems tight, even with the plugs out. Any idea what could be going on here? Thanks in advance.
