RE: kohler 25 hp stalls when engaging pto only when cold.<br>
Thank you for the advice. I tried the wait for warmup of the engine, it helped.<br>
I stopped at a parts supplier to buy an oil filter and asked the older gent if he had any ideas about my problem.<br>
He stated that the new engines run lean on purpose for emmission reasons. and to pull the choke out about 1/2 inch when engaging the deck when the machine is cold.<br>
Stated it would richen the mixture and i would be surprised.<br>
I tied it today with the engine stone cold The pto deck starts instantly without any hesitation or bogging.<br>
I didnt pull the choke out far enough to even hear any engine change just about 1/2 inch of the 2 inch travel. <br>
Thanks for your help.

I have a toro zero turn with a 25hp kohler that stalls when i engage the deck. i have to drive about 5mph and engage and it will run.<br>
After the first statup everything works fine. you can turn the deck off and on without any problems.<br>
only chokes the engine on the first startup for the day.<br>
Could it be running lean?<br>
Sensitivity of govener spring?<br>
Thanks

I have 2 acres. need to level and cut.<br>
Is the bx1500 w fel adequate w 54" deck.<br>
Or is the 1800 worth $2,000 more to get a 60 " deck<br>
I noticed the 1800 fel has 200lbs more lift.<br>
Currently use a toro 48" zero turn.<br>
will the 60" deck on the 1800 be close to time spent since the deck is 12" wider?
