Hi Mike:
It's trying to make you crazy.
I have a model YT4000 and it is a PITA to start when cold.
I pull the air filter, toss in a bit of gas to prime it, and it starts instantly.
I'd suggest that you give yours another try. 3 or 4 times of a couple of seconds each. If it doesn't go, pull a spark plug and see if it is wet or dry. Wet indicates getting gas but no spark. Dry indicates not getting gas.
While you have the plug out, check the spark... Hot & blue.
Hope this gives you some more to work with.

Sounds like its not getting enough fuel. clean the fuel system and the carby. The valve clearances also need to be checked.
check the solenoid on the bottom of the carb check for movement and power if it moves and has power open the carb and clean it

Hi, check your oil level incase it has the guardian system on it. If that is ok it may be the coil as kohlers have a habit of them failing, regards Phil.
