Need more information! Does the engine turn over with the starter but not catch and run, or not even turn over? Does it click from anywhere when you turn the key?

If just a click, or not even that, there's usually a host of safety switches whose specific intent is to prevent it from starting until all "safety conditions" are met; in neutral? clutch depressed? operator in the seat? PTO not engaged?

Then Cub usually puts a large plug-in type fuse in the wiring down near the starter that can be the problem. It should look something like the attached.

Of course, check all the "regular" fuses too. I never trust just looking at them. Use a cheap ohmmeter. Harbor Freight usually has a coupon for a free one.

Good luck!

Good morning Jrobyn-
It will start up but after about 2 hours of running it shuts down till it cools off then it will start. It will not get any spark to plug after it gets hot. When turning it over the first time to start it takes a long time for it to engage/catch.

I don't know much about those Kawasaki engines, but that sounds a lot like a coil or engine electronic module that is heating up and failing.

Next time it does it, have a new plug on hand and see it it will fire. I had a tiller that would run fine when it was cold and shut off when hot, and it turned out to be the spark plug. I will add that it didn't take any where near 2 hours for it to happen.

Coils will be here on Friday. Will let you know if that helps.

Thanks
