Bobcat 310 electrical ...

[danzmark]

Howdy . I have a Bobcat 310 skid loader with the 16 hp Kohler gas engine. I've had it for 10 years and it always ran great. Now I just had to rebuild the carburator because the crappy ethanol gasoline nowdays eats gaskets and rusts metal parts. Problem is I left the ignition switch on over night and today there is nothing - no starter when turned to start position. So, any ideas on what I burned out? The battery is fully charged, and it ran yesterday OK. Thanks .

Still have the 310 ? Just picked one up myself to play with around cabin. Seems to run well. Pushes snow well. Don't assume it will do much in the dirt come spring but that's okay. Problem I have is it is hard to idle loader without it creeping forward or back. Control sticks seem loose and sloppy. Is there a way to fix that ?
