In this video, we’ve got a John Deere riding mower with a Kohler Command engine that turns over but won’t start. I show you how I diagnose every mower the same way, no matter the brand – Husqvarna, Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, or John Deere – and no matter if it’s a Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, Kawasaki, or Honda engine. We spray brake cleaner into the carburetor, the mower fires up and dies, which tells us right away it’s a fuel problem. Power was getting to the anti-backfire solenoid, but it was stuck from bad gas. I first tried a cheap aftermarket carburetor – and it flooded the engine! The final fix was replacing it with another carburetor, and the mower runs perfectly again. If your mower turns over but won’t start, runs and dies, or is starving for fuel, this video will help you troubleshoot and fix it. 👉 Be sure to like, comment, and subscribe for more Raley’s Small Engines repair videos!
