So i bought a good used engine for my 1996 John Deere GT275, it has the K series Kawasaki 17hp engine. After i put the engine on and started the
bolts that hold it to the frame, i tried to start it. It started up, ran good, no smoke, sounded good. I cut it off after a minute or so running,
the next day i finished everything up, putting the drive belt on, etc. but now it will not turn over. The dash lights come on but its like the
battery isn't hooked up at all, will not even grunt. I tried changing out the starter, charging the battery, checking the ground wires, running new
wires, but nothing has helped. This has me baffled, nothing changed from one day to the next except putting the belts & pulleys on and making sure
the bolts were tight that hold it on the frame. Any ideas???
