I have a 12.5 Kohler in a little John Deere that runs sometimes and then other times will not start. The problem is in the ignition system as when it will not start I put an in line spark tester on it and get nothing. I have also sprayed WD40 in the carb to confirm the no spark prob. Come back 2 days later and all the sudden the thing starts and runs fine! Any suggestions would be helpful.....Oh it has a new plug.

The ignition module acts that way also. Around $42.00 from Mother Deere. Sandpaper the magnets on the flywheel, gap it .012 thousandths and make sure the connections are tight.

You may have a loose connection or a connection with some corrosion. I would check for any safety switches and use a jumper wire to bypass them to see if that's the problem. Hal
