    Kohler 17.5 hp spraying gas upon ignition?
    My craftsman LT with 17.5 Kohler engine has been spraying gas through the muffler while starting the last few weeks while choking as recommended. Now it just won't start. Floods, backfires, sprays, won't start. I'm afraid I'm going to go up in a hiddeous fireball!
    Any thoughts on how to fix this? I don't think it has a fuel pump?
