This may be a bit off topic, but I think the subject could apply to my 300 Farmall as much my zero turn mower that I can"t get started without just a squirt of starter fluid. I know there are a bunch of smart guys out there. What would you guys suggest to address first so I can get my mower started. It has a 3 cylinder Kubota engine that I have heard is quite robust. Is this a fuel or spark problem? It seems to have good battery to turn over the engine and I can smell fuel when I choke the engine, but it does not fire at all. Doesn"t seem to matter if I choke or not. But the smallest spray of starter fluid and it kicks right off. Suggestions on where to start first??

Sometimes fuel is very difficult to ignite with old plugs, if they are new, ignore this issue. ND plugs in a Mower like yours. If the plugs don't fix it, the choke may not be actually closing all the way. Another issue might be a battery that has pretty good amps, but in which the cranking voltage is low enough to cause firing issues. The voltage while cranking (at the battery terminals) should be 10 volts or better. JimN
