Hi Vic,
Today I was mowing along with my B-7100 and saw a patch of thicker brush in the field and thought my Mid-Mower should be able to handle it. I slowed up eased onto it and my tractor engine stalled out just as I was getting into it. I've stalled the engine before and it always just started right back up. No loud noise or damage that I can tell but the engine now will not start up. It's cranks over but doesn't start. I waited for it to cool down and still no start. It cranks over and just puts out a little black smoke from the exhaust pipe. My fear is I didn't have the RPMs up high enough when I started over the brush with my mower deck and when it stalled it may have jumped time. I know nothing about these little motors so I don't know where to start looking to diagnose. Maybe a blown fuse or vapor lock? I would appreciate any help. Thanks much. Steve
