Still guessing, but I try to add some more things to do. Do you hear anything when you crank it with the plugs out?? does it hesitate or have a hitch in the rotation when you have the plugs out?? Any hitch or hesitation will be mulitiplied with the plugs in especially if you hear any noise. things I would look for. Remove the starter and look at the bendix teeth, look at the flywheel teeth. Do a compression check (compression should be atleast around 100 PSI). this will tell you that the valve seat and valves are sealing and closing, Doing one cylinder at a time may also narrow the problem down to one or the other if the engine stops rotating when checking compression which may lead to a connecting rod problem. If you got good compression and the engine spins with plugs out and no unusual noises or hesitations and the drive belt and elect pto clutch aren't binding. Then I would suspect the starter, usually starters last quite awhile, but unless your are an electronic's expert your guessing. Starter is a high dollar item unless you find a used one or one on ebay for at least 1/2 price. Before I replace the starter I would go ove the battery cables again checking for any corossion (on the cables internally) and points of contact I would also jump across the starter solonoid to illimate that. I'm out of guesses or procedures unless you come up with something else. If it was me I would try another starter before I tore into the engine unless I found some evidents of a rotating part problem. I not that familar with V-twin Kohlers, but it still should have valve covers (usually the cover can be reinstalled using the old gasket unless you tear if when removing it) which you can remove and watch the valve action when cranking the engine with the plugs out if you have no compression in one cylinder, if you have good compression (in both cylinders) and no noises then the rotating internal part could be ilimated. I know another tool you probably haven't got, but you really have to have basic tools multi-meter, compression kit, vacuum gauge to have a chance to narrow some problems down.

I can only say that we have had the Rejuvenation latches for 12 years and I still love-love-love them. No split wood or any other issues, and two of the cabinets get daily use. Ours are on flush inset cabinetry (and we also have one on our bathroom cabinet, with no issues there either). I will say that lining up the latches is important and takes some precision, so I can imagine a GC not being super excited about that. But our cabinetmaker had no problem getting it right, and that's not specific to Rejuvenation's latch design. ETA: We have solid poplar frames with MDF panel inserts for painted cabinets. The material could make a difference?

This Statement got my attention! ““I have on occasion burnt oak to help clean out any creasote issues on friends stove flues . Anyhow Bro fined some mesquite and mix that with your old oak to reduce acidic gas formation and help with btu efficiency increase with your older wood supply .”” The statement “above” got my attention and led to a little research related to Creosote. I feel I have not seen what I feel is creosote due to burning 75%+ Oak since the mid 70s. Is the acid chemical in the Oak helping to removing the creosote from the 14” ID stainless pipes? Plus, I burned at least a ½” and-1” steel grates before going with 2 X 2” stainless pipes as a grate & heat transfer (to the steel back in the once double sides open fireplace). I was told I could not burn 100% Mesquite (due to too much heat) by a friend but the Seller/Installer guaranteed me that I could. Within the first 2-3 fires with all mesquite the pipes buckled with small signs of asbestos releasing from the filled pipes. The installers replaced the 2, 30” sections of pipe and I have not burned 100% mesquite since vs mixed. I did add 2 “tight” 2” wide x 3/16”thick Band Iron adapters (while new) at the two joints that had slight buckles in initial pipes. Attached is the typical appearance I will see yearly and it all appears to me as soot vs creosote. A pan is laying on 7, 2” stainless pipes in the fire box to collect heat before it works up the short chimney (due to the fire box is almost ceiling high). What is your opinion of the yearly condition that I feel is soot that I can sweep off with a broom? See the 5 attachments...

First, I consider how long I'll use and enjoy the purchase, like most do. Then, my mind resorts to recent decisions where I have saved money not already spent. So, my sister and I planned a hiking vacation in August, but last month we both decided to cancel for various reasons. Then, friends who recently downsized generously gave me their very nice but very dirty gas grill. I was going to purchase a much smaller one, but I decided to clean the one they gave me (a few dirty hours of my time that I hope never to do again ), and when I priced what their grill cost new vs. my cleaning supplies, I saved myself $1500. Mind you, had I decided to forego the cleaning and just buy one, I would not have spent $1500. But in my mental gymnastics, those 2 decisions mean I just saved about $4k. You passed on the Bergdorf's windbreaker. Get the carpet you want.
