Help!
I had a crack in the crankcase of my Kohler and found out that it was possible to repair with cold weld. I took off the top engine cover and did the repair sucessfully. The crankshaft never moved whilst I was working and I replaced everything in order and correctly lined up.
BUT the motor ran perfectly on fist start up but after stopping would not restart. I found out that the Woodruff key on the crankshaft/flywheel had sheered. I thought I had made a silly mistake and so put in a new Woodruff key with exactly the same result.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Answers are hard to come by here in France.
