What's going on with my Kubota ZG327

[Whiskey95]

Howdy!

I have this Kubota ZG327 for years, this morning, it's started and dead.

Oil's where it oughta be, battery's got juice, and I can hear that fuel pump hummin' along just fine.

Now... the carburetor. Ain't got the foggiest notion where that blamed thing's hidin' on here.

Gonna start yankin' off some o' these here panels tomorrow, see if I can't get a peek at what's what.

Makes a fella wonder, you reckon there's some kinda brake grabbing onto that flywheel for safety or somethin'? 'Cause it doesn't spit or sputter or nothin', just feels like it gets all bound up right quick.

Just throwin' it here, see if any of you fellas got any ideas what's goin' on with this thing. Appreciate any light you can shed on it, much obliged.

Hey, sounds like you're on the right track gettin' this figured out! While you're under the hood, might not hurt to give the starter a quick peek too.Could be stickin' or just plain wearin' out.Keep us posted on what you find

There's no carb to find because ZG327 uses fuel injection lol just check the seat and brake safety switches because you can blame those for not starting. And then if it cranks but locks up, should be the PTO clutch.

Haha, good eye on that EFI thing! Easy to miss if you're old school. And yeah, those safety switches always cause trouble. PTO clutch locking up? Totally makes sense. Great tips
