John Deere won't shut down
Comments (1)Doesn't this model have a bail on the handlebars that you must hold while mowing? It should. And releasing it should kill the engine. If it doesn't, you should have someone look at the kill switch or maybe a wire pulled off at the coil....See MoreJohn deere won't start
Comments (1)Hopefully you won't need to be looking for a new tractor. Does the top screen of the engine turn freely by hand? Does it seem to have compression? Oil level?...See Morejohn deere 318 won't start
Comments (12)Nope. just getting my info from an ONAN manual. This is a bit garbled since I'm copying it from a 2 column pdf file- 3. Pull spark plug wires off spark plugs and remove spark plugs. Connect an approved spark tester to each of the spark plug wiresand ground them away from spark plug hole. Turn key on and crank engine over for 5 seconds while watching for spark. If a spark occurs regularly, the problem is not in the ignition system. If no spark occurs, go to step 4. Incorrect wiring can cause elec- tronic ignition damage. Do not attach any lead or jumper with power (such as B+) to coil negative terminal. 4. Connect a jumper lead directly from the positive battery terminal to the positive (+) coil terminal (smaller diameter of the two threaded posts). Crank engine over while watching for spark. If spark occurs, the problem is in the low oil pressure cut out switch (if equipped) or related wiring, the lubricating system (low oil pressure), or in the other circuitry bringing voltage to the coil. If no spark occurs, go to step 5. 5. Connect positive side of voltmeter to negative (-) coil terminal (larger diameter of the two threaded posts) and negative side of voltmeter to engine ground. Turn key on and rotate flywheel slowly by hand while observing voltmeter. Voltage should switch between battery voltage and 1-1.5 for each revolution. If voltage does not switch properly, replace ignition module. 6. Install spark plugs and wires. If ignition module is being replaced, be sure to connect red lead from new ignition module to positive (+)terminal of coil, black lead from module to negative (-) terminal of coil. Continuity Test 1. Pull spark plug wires off spark plugs and remove spark plugs. 1-1 Accidentalstarting of the engine AWARNING can result in severe personal injury or death. Remove spark plugs before proceeding. 2. Turn ignition on. 3. Connect a voltmeter between the negative (-) coil terminal (larger diameter of the two threaded posts) and a good engine ground. 4. Rotate the flywheel slowly by hand in the clockwise direction until the voltmeter reading switches from approximately 1 volt to battery voltage. Atthis point, one of the chaff screen screws should lie between the two timing marks on the blower housing. To recheck timing, the flywheel must be rotated another complete revolution in the clockwise direction. Moving the flywheel back and forth across the reference timing mark will not activate the electronic ignition control.

Comments (5)For posterity... The test: got it good and warm since there _seemed_ to be a temp dependence. @ idle, turned off the key and waited a couple of seconds to get past the legitimate shut off delay. It kept running. Pulled plug wire, it got rough. Plugged it back in, it smoothed out. Pulled both, it shut off. It was pretty clear that the ignition stayed live - I got stung pretty good through my gloves to verify :) The fix: replaced the ignition time delay module. Got it hot and tested. It shut down in a few seconds as expected. If anything changes after actually doing a day's work with it, I will post again. Thanks for the excellent suggestions, and happy gardening/tractoring!
