Gosh I wish it had a decompression knob but I didn't see anything in the service manual for this model. As for the glow plugs, sadly it has a glow plug controller that only runs them for 7 sec, then reactivates while cranking. I'm not technically using a battery rated for cranking an engine so...

Yeah you definitely might be right, still waiting on that stupid m8 adapter to get delivered since the kit I got only goes to m10 glow plugs for testing. And I have a Groundsmaster 7200, she's got pretty high hours so it could be time for a rebuild, I did pull the valve cover and all...

Here's a video of the engine cranking over. https://youtube.com/shorts/XoOcN1ufjQE?si=8p3sTMwOtkDUrcKG I usually will kick the key to the first position which lights the glow plugs for like 7 sec, then it also re-engages the plugs the whole time the keys turned to "cranking" so they will be on...

Hey everyone, I have an older Toro Groundsmaster with a Kubota D1105 engine that I can't get to start. I've made a lot of progress and feel like I'm so close but just won't catch. I received this mower in a trade, the guy claimed he got it from an apartment complex that upgraded after the...

Oh and to answer your other question, if I keep the key turned, it'll crank the motor all day, but as soon as I let go and try to crank again, if it lands in the wrong spot, it will just click.

Thank you all for getting back, finally had a chance to dive in today and here's what I found. So electrically, everything is solid. Had some brand new 2/0 welding cable I used for testing/bypassing everything. Main lug voltage @ starter is only dropping like a half volt. Upon further testing, I...

Thank you both for getting back, I'll definitely reach out to the seller to see about warranty. I'm assuming the starter must not have been rebuilt right, or has a flat spot somewhere, that'd explain why it works one minute, but not the next.

Thanks for the reply, but trust me I've tried, I've gone as far as running a fresh power and ground straight off the battery, then using my power probe as the 12v signal bypassing ignition. Sometimes it will work if i hit the starter a few times with a wrench but I usually have to fully remove...

Hey all, long time reader, first time poster. I recently picked up a Toro groundsmaster 7200, has a Kubota d1105. It has a litany of issues I'm chasing so I'm sure I'll be asking more, but here's my current problem. The motor was missing the starter when I picked it up, I ordered a new starter...
