Blizzard arrived, temperature about 0 degrees F.
Tried to start tractor for snowblowing, no soap...poor spark. With jumper cables and some starter fluid(I hated to do that), I finally got started.Then the Kohler magnum did not want to run right.Hesitancy, rough running and backfiring.
It sounded like it was out of time. Put some isopropyl drygas in tank, but did not seem to help. Please offer me some ideas what to look for so when the weather warms a bit(unheated shop),so that I may have a "heads up" on what I'm looking for. Thanks.....Pete

I'd try a set of plugs first. Use anything but Champion. Usually th ign. system on it is pretty good. If it was running good when you quit mowing it might be some stale gas. Good Luck

Thanks Gary,new plugs but as you said, perhaps wrong brand. I'll try a different brand(AC?). Appreciate the help...Pete
