Ramanonos 17 #1 Posted June 2, 2017 Clicking on starting. C-125 with 12hp Kohler. I purchased a new cheapo starter on eBay about six months ago. I swapped that out with the old starter in to test whether it would at least spin and it did not. What do you think it is and what should I check next?

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,495 #2 Posted June 2, 2017 The engine on a C-125 sits on a steel plate and the plate sits on rubber isolation mounts on the tractor frame. There is a ground cable between the plate and the frame. Have you checked it? Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
