I have an Cub Cadet XT1 LT42 with the Kohler 5400 engine. It has 100 hours on it.
When starting the mower, first time it will act like a low battery even when it's fully charged. The starter will try to turn the engine over but can't. I've replaced the battery, the starter solenoid, and the starter, and checked the connections to power and ground. Sometimes after trying the key 2-3 times it then fires up and runs fine. Shit it down and let it sit for an hour, starts no problem. Sometimes I have to turn the engine by hand to TDC so it can start easier.
I've read one forum post where a guy said his mechanic said his ignition coils were causing the problem.
Bought it second hand and had had this problem from the begining.
