Greetings all,
Wishing you all safety and good health to begin with.
Checking in on an old topic which need be refreshed. I understand the ACR can fail on a Kohler.
Leaving compression to be too high thus creating a hard start.
Give credit where due, I have replaced and installed brand new:
Stator
Starter
Solenoid
Spark Plug
Spark Plug Wire
All new cables
Yet still, what I am experiencing is a positive, immediate turn on the starter.
Then a dead stop. I'll (wince) hold the key on and in about 20 seconds or so, it will eventually start.
Don't worry, I KNOW that isn't good for ANYTHING. Don't lecture....
What I'd like your opinion on is: do you also think this is an issue with the ACR and should the engine fly and top head be pulled to
change this out? I see on some forums where this part fails, cracks and/or just breaks.
Thoughts and help?
I know there is also a RED brother in Richmond VA, (can't remember your handle Sir)
I have garage kept and pampered this beautiful 416XT and it looks new with beauty new 52" deck and all.
Just want to do right by her and get this issue straightened out. (chewing up a battery each season even with heavy and trickle charges)
Thoughts?
Am I crazy?
Cheers to all!
