682 won't start
I've got a 682 GT that won't start.
I have not yet fixed the electrical starting issue (intermittent issue -doesn't occur often- where I don't even get a starter click probably due to a safety switch corroded or shorted somewhere) yet but...
I used the tractor this past Saturday and then my last 5 minutes of it running, it was running very very poorly - poor power from it and sputtering. I had to increase/decrease the throttle to make it sound better. It never did die out but I think that had I not played with the throttle, it would have.
Anyway, I shut it off after using it but 10 minutes later, needed to move it to put it away. Well, it wouldn't start at all. It appeared to be the electrical starting issue again. So, I got it pulled back into my garage.
**** Now, the tractor won't start at all. Turn the key and the starter clicks as it should but gas ends up leaking out of the exhaust pipe. Yes, may be I flooded it. So I let it sit overnight and tried again this morning - same thing with the key in the start position for may be 10 seconds. I pulled the spark plugs and see the plugs are covered in gas. So, it would seem that gas is in both cylinders and through the engine enough to come out the exhaust.
Any thoughts on whats wrong? Or where to start looking?
Yes, I know - also need to fix the electrical starting issue. However, even with that, THIS problem wasn't occurring.
Thanks in advance!
