For any genius out there.
  • Kohler Courage 18
  • Just started it, moved it from the garage, turned it off.  When back to restart and...
  • Will not start or even turn over.  
  • Starter/ Solenoid clicks (with a small whistle)
  • Starter will not turn.
  • Disconnected cable connects at battery, at selanoid, at starter.  Cleaned with steel wool.  The machine is three yrs old so most connections were not "dirty".
  • Reconnected  - same result.  Clicks and a light whistle.
  • Cross over the two poles on the switch/solenoid,  small amount of sparks arrupted (as expected) but the starter did not turn over.
  • I sat on the seat to depress the safety switch.  I set the brake.  I engaged and released the blade pto.  
  • Still, only clicks.
  • Does anyone know what is happening?  
  • Is it a starter problem?  A solenoid problem?  Is the dang engine locked up?
