John Deere GT263 wont start. Wont even fire, turns over OK
DO you have spark?? To check for spark pull spark plug out. With the spark plug connected lay the spark plug on the block of the engine( something metal) and try to start the engine.waych for aspark as the engie is turning over. Does it spark?? If not check the safty switches - Break petal, seat,blade engagemment switch. Also check the coil/magneto.(without the right tester for goil ) you will have to replace the goil. A little pricey. If you have spsrk, the problem is in the fuel system. Is there gas in the tank? Does the tractor have a fuel shut off in the gass line? Is it open?
Close the fuel shut off valve or crimp the fuel line with vice grips or some type of locking plyers. Remove the carborator bowel. Is there gas in it? Yes, Carborator needs cleaning. No, open the fuel line and see if fuel flows out of line. If not check and see if obstruction on line or tank.
Most importantly is the spark/ ignition system. mainly the safty switches and the coil/magneto. If any ofthe safties are open you will not get ANY spark. If the switches are working correctly I suspect it will be the the coil.
