I've got a Sears Craftsman lawn tractor with a Kohler 17.5 HP engine. It's 3 years old and I've never had any problems. It started right up Thursday night, but then wouldn't start on Friday or since. The engine cranked and started with full choke, but immediately died out. I replaced the plug and fuel filter. Same problem. I noticed that if I held the key in the ignition position, the tractor would run. As soon as I released the key, it stalled. In frustration, I held the key in the ignition position for about 45 seconds and the tractor went silent. Now, when I turn the key, nothing happens at all. No sound, no anything! Any ideas? Did I kill the starter or solenoid? Is the ignition switch toast? Any help would be appreciated!
