Purchased the CK27H New in Spring 2011 less than 400 hrs. Have a starting problem. Turn the key on until the pre-heating light goes out. Pedal is depressed & key is turned to start position. When turned on, I get a groan from the solenoid or starter but the engine does not turn over. I've have an instant Shumacher power pack I used to jump it. I get the same result.
We just had a major snow storm so I was counting on the unit to come to the rescue. I don't like to do this but I turned the key on an off a few times and it did finally start. I managed to get the plowing done however, have about a mile to plow, so if it stalled I wouldn't be able to get it to restart. Would like to know how and what I need to do to find the problem? This senior would appreciate any and all suggestions. Unit is out of warranty! Thank you for taking the time to share. KK
