Kohler 7000 series , vertical crankshaft, V twin KT 745,
won't start, after new coil was put in, due to mouse
eating, coil wire. Engine was run for 3 hrs. before I put in new coil.
Did remove shroud , and found huge mouse nest and nuts under shroud.
Removed all debris, and hosed cylinder fins clean.
Used business card gap for coil, put all back together, and now won't start. Did not check yet for spark.
Any ideas ? Engine is at 199.5 hrs , and was run for 3 hrs. just prior to this.
I'm at a loss for what is cause.... will check for spark at plugs next.
Am lucky N.Y. Hudson Valley is in a a dry spell now with no rain in the forecast for a week....
so grass will not need cutting , and it buys me some time to figure the problem out.
Just thought someone would have been through this with a Kolher V-twin.
Thanks.
