I have a JD317 that has a Kohler CH18 in it as part of a re-power kit I installed years ago. It will start right up and run fine for hours, but if I shut it down it will not restart until it cools down for several hours or overnight. Then it will start right up again and run fine. If I start it then shut it down right away before it warms up it will restart.
It has a new carb and fuel pump. I've tested the spark with a spark tester and spark is good when engine is hot or cold. Tried putting a little fuel down the carb when it won't restart and that did not help. Even tried the trick of unscrewing the gas cap to relieve vapor lock with no luck.
The guys at the local shop just scratch their heads and have no clue as to what it could be.
Any ideas?
