I replaced the start with a used one.

I shut the gas off using a manual shutoff until I got a solenoid.

The manual shutoff failed to work properly an the cylinder was full of gas again.

Replaced gas hose. Remove the manual shutoff, charged the battery and all is good.

Neighbor is happy.
I didn't charge him a penny.
Cost him about $25 for parts.

If you don't remember my original post, neighbor thought he had a dead battery when the carb float float didn't stop the gas from flooding the cylinder and crankcase with gas.
Neighbor fried the starter because motor was locked up.
 
I replaced it with a solenoid.
No need for manual shutoff.
I've yet to have 12v solenoid fail.

hanks I will look in the next couple days. Right now prepping for Ian to come ashore about 50 or so miles south of us in Coastal SC. Shouldn't be too bad, 50 with gusts to 65+ MPH. Tie down and put away.
 
I ordered one this afternoon. Took a short break and just did it. I think a bad manual shut off may have diluted the oil in a Kohler K301 of mine. Suddenly started using oil and smoking. I will need to re ring it this winter I guess. Changed oil and it smokes less but I know damage was done.
