STOP USING STARTING FLUID!!!!! !!!!! !!!!! !!!!! !
There's alot of reasons for hard starting: Choke not closing all the way Weak spark [points'plug condenser] Carb problems;leaking float,partially clogged passages,weak fuel pump etc. Low compression
A little history on the 17 hp twin kohler, When that engine first came out they had alot of problems with them. You can not get a replacement kohler for the JD 317, but they make an exellent repower kit for it to retro fit an onan 18 hp engine. I've done a few of the repowers, as long as the rest of the machine is in good shape I highly
recommend the repower. Your JD dealer should have the info if not I'm pretty sure I still have the kit number [JD part #]
