A friend has an ariens ride on mower with a Kohler twin cam engine (sorry I do not know the HP or engine # at this time)
The engine has been hard or hesitant to start, giving systems that were first thought to be a low battery.
I had just about identical systems with the 17.5 HP B&S on our mower, and that turned out to be the valve adjustment not allowing compression release at start up.
Do you think his Kohler may have the same problem?
Someone told me the the valve lash on Twin Cam Kohlers is not adjustable?
