Kohler OHV twin question

OK, I have been going nuts trying to verify which cylinder is which on my '97 Kohler OHV Command engine. To be specific, I am trying to verify which is the #1 cylinder. My guess is it's the right cylinder (when looking from the shaft/output side to the front). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The one closest to the flywheel end of the engine is #1. You can see they are offset a bit.

Starter not engaging the flywheel

L

Liberty2014 on Apr 22, 2015

I have a 2012 Craftsman YT 4500 riding more with a 26hp Briggs and Stratton engine. I actually have two problems. I have a short causing my fuse to blow. But also if I try to jump start the mower by crossing the sylinoid the starter spins yet the coggle doesn't spin the gear up to engage the flywheel. Replaced the sylinoid and the starter both. Also has new battery. Any advise, not a mech. Just trying to help an widow woman get her Lower running againRead More

John Deere L120 mower: electric clutch issues

Good Morning, I appreciate all the info on the forum, it has helped me diagnose and correct several issues, however, I am facing a puzzler and hoping you have some advice to narrow the issue. Equipment: Riding Mower Brand: John Deere L120 (48" Deck) Circa 2003 I believe Engine: 15.5 Briggs (Sabre) 28N707-1135-E1 While a "proud" owner for a very short while, I agree that this equipment (not the engine, which is still running strong) is junk, I just can't afford to upgrade at this time. My clutch issue just started last night. I had previously replaced the connector that attached to the clutch assembly as it had broken free. This worked great for several mows and was working great last night until I disengaged the blades and shut down the tractor to move some debris (several feet in front of tractor, did not cause issue), after starting back up, I engaged the PTO switch and the blades turned on as expected but after about 5 seconds they stopped. I initially thought the wire came loose again, but after checking and taking them off, cleaning them and putting them back on, still no joy. The odd thing is, while the mower is running, and the PTO switch is on (just sitting idle) the blades will engage randomly for a few seconds and then disengage again (PTO switch is still on). I feel like something is loose and making a connection through the vibrations, but not sure where to start? ThanksRead More
