OK...
Background - Kohler Courage 22HP, (SV-620), ran out of gas mowing. Left it sit for a few days until I got back to it. Unfortunately had our only rain storm of the last month while the tractor was out in the yard. Got some gas and filled it up, started and ran fine with good power for a minute or so, started coughing/losing power and died. Didn't make any extra noises. Seems like probably water in gas, besides the rain (which really shouldn't have entered the fuel system) the temps had changed pretty drastically and the empty tank probably had a pretty good chance for condensing water out of the air.
Drained some fuel from both the tank and the carb, replaced fuel and air filters. Engine won't even give the slightest hint of starting. Spins fine until I need to charge the battery. I pulled the plug and it has spark, replaced it as well.
Am noticing as I spin it with the cowl off that it is actually blowing a little air out the intake. That doesn't seem right to me. Amount is pretty small. Anyway, looking for a little help trouble shooting this (And hoping I'm not looking for a new mower).

This would make the whole engine rebuild job much easier-and much less expensive! I soon found however, that the #4 conrod bearing had disintegrated, taking with it chunks of the crankshaft journal.
