Or so I thought.

Been trying to get the mill to run right, only 150 hours (or so) on the new Kohler-25.

Just wouldn't run right, I'd start it and it would only run for about a minute or so, pump the primer bulb again and it would start right up again.   :-\ :-\ :-\

Finally the light came on!  smiley_sidelightbulb  Check the quick-disconnect on the fuel tank!  ::) The O-Ring was chipped and out of place! DUH!!!

Went to the John Deere place in Canton with 2 connectors and had 2 new O-Rings installed and also got 4 for spares!   8)

Engine runs like a top!  ;)

Now I'll probably never have the problem again!   ::)

Nice fix.  The simple things can easily slip by.

The worse part is, I've diagnosed this same problem on other peoples mills several time.

It just didn't come to me quite so quick this time and, when helping others you seem to get a little more urgency in your search than in you own problems.
