My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Ariens mower wont start

15 years ago

I bought the mower about a year ago. It has a kohler engine. Mower started fine, after 10 minutes of mowing made a loud noise as if I hit a rock, and then died. Wouldnt start again. Now when I try to start it , it starts and then turns right back off again. It is almost like there is something that is telling it to turn off. I changed the air filter,oil, spark plug and fuel to ensure that everything was fine. I have to wait a while and then the engine will do the same thing again, start and then die right away, doesnt sputter. Just seems like it turns right back off.

Any ideas as to what this could be ?
