I have a Kawasaki 17HP John Deere GT275. This thing has never given me a second of trouble until this weekend -- it won't start.
It has been 3 weeks since I fired it up and mowed the grass, so I went out there Saturday and it won't start. It turned over, started to start, backfired then wouldn't try to start again (although would turn over). I replaced the spark plug on a whim and it tried to start again, a small backfire and some black fumes came out, then wouldn't even try to start (although it would turn over) again.
Any idea what could be going on? I need to get this fixed before my neighbors start complaining about my grass.
Many thanks!!
