    John Deere LX255 15hp Kohler c-series won't start
    Lately, when mowing, it would back fire and quit running. After waiting for afew seconds, it would restart with no more problems. It seemed as though it was flooding. I changed the air filter, fuel filter, spark plug, oil and oil filter - after replacing these, it won't start at all. I switched plugs with no change. I pulled the flywheel and checked the pin, no problems. Can the coil be having an intermittent problem? Carb? Safety kill switches?

    Hi,
    You have a sheared flywheel key; Deere part# 26H74. It is a 3/16" X 5/8" woodruff key.
    Peace,
    Clarke
