    Question:
    Intermittent issues starting MZT-61 23HP Kawasaki after turning it off.
    Details:

    I have a MZT-61 Zero Turn and keep having intermittent issues starting it after turning it off. I will be mowing and get a phone call, I power it down and turn the switch all the way off, come back after a few minutes and it will not click or turnover at all! 

    At first I thought I left the switch on and it seemed to turn on after waiting a while, so I thought it was voltage. But ever since I make sure the switch is all the way off and it continues to happen. As I am writing this the battery voltage is 12.89v, no start. Brake is engaged and I pressed on it more to eliminate it. PTO is off, arms are out, switches engaged.

    Is there a specific voltage that the Kawasaki will not start under? Does it have to be over 13v? I tried a jump with a 14v car battery but still nothing. If I engage the PTO and try to turn the key I do hear a solenoid engage. Please help! Still under warranty but I hate to pay over $60 to get it picked up for a simple issue.

    Thanks,

    Question:
    I have a M-ZT61 zero turn and have had no issues yet! I started it up great and mowed for the first time this year and after 20 minutes of mowing I set the speed to middle and turned off the deck then shut it off. When I returned to turn it back on (10 minutes later) it would not start. Arms are parked, Brake is on, Seat is engaged, PTO stitch is down(off) and it does not turn over at all. When I pull up the PTO the hours meter turns on and it sounds like it has power.
    I left it off for a few hours but still no go!
    Battery is 12.78V...Help?
