    John Deere 318
    When I try to start my 318 all it does is click.
    I took the starter and had it checked was okay.
    Put a new solenoid on didn't help.
    Checked all grounds okay,
    Any Ideas what may be the problem.
    Thanks Kline

    Common problem with the 318.
    Its getting volts to the starter but not enough to spin the engine.
    Go to your nearst JD dealer and ask for a hard start relay part # AM107421.it will have instructions for several different JDs.pick out yours for the Onan engine and just follow step by step its pretty simple,
    Luck.

John Deere 318 [ 1 Answers ]

I have a John Deere 318 with an Onan engine. When I try to move the mower it wants to die after the hydrostat safety switch is released. If I "tie" down the safety switch I can drive it, but it dies as I hit the mowing deck. Any hints on what to replace? Thanks, Rod Hite
