My 1541 with a M18 Kohler engine has a restart problem after I run it a hour or two with the PTO engaged. I replaced the battery with a Die Hard auto batt. two months ago and cleaned the post clamps and cable connections. The battery tests 13.5 volts and the initial startup is flawless. After shutting down and trying to restart all I get is a buzzing. I bypassed the solenoid switch and when I turn the key I hear it click but the starter is dead. After sitting in my cold shed overnight it starts without a charge. Is it solenoid, battery or what ? Help !!
