Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Igniton problem for Simplicity, kohler command, solinoid
QuestionHello, I have a simplicity Regent Model NO. 1693325 with a 14 HP Kohler Command Model NO CV14S. It will start up and run for 1-2 seconds, than shut off immediatly. I then have to wait about 5 seconds or so before it will crank again. I replaced the ignition switch and the circuit breaker that connects with the solinoid. I know that the circuit breaker is being tripped, I can hear it pop immediatly after I put the key in the on position prior to cranking. This is where I'm stumped. when I Replaced the circuit breaker it started up immediately and ran great for about 3 minutes until I shut it off. I backed it up the next morning, started right up, changed the spark plug, and when I went to start it again I had the same problem all over again. What do you think is causing this?
Thanks, I appreciate any help,
Brian
Answer Hello Brian:
From your Description, I Suggest you Look to One of the Safety Switches to be Causing the Circuit Breaker to Trip. There May also be a Bare Wire in the Harness. Is the Battery Installed Correctly? Hope this Helps. Let me know what Happens, Please. Thanks.
Good Luck
