710K Won't Start

Post by TulsaPinz »

I have had both a 710K and a 712K for about 3 years. Both are wonderfulf vehicles that I use almost exclusively around my ranch (lots of hills, rocks, creeks and evelation changes!) :D Until yesterday, I have not had a problem with either vehicle.

Yesterday, I was hauling a 20 foot tall deer blind on a trailer behind my 710K about a mile and a half through a tight road. When I reached my destination (all four wheels were hydraulicly locked), a friend tried to back the 710K up and accidently popped the clutch killing the engine. The engine would not restart? :?:

I ended up towing the 710K back to the barn where it is stored indoors. I did notice the oil level was low. The vehicle has plenty of gas and the dual Optima batteries are still cranking hard. I let the vehicle cool down and even tried spraying some carburerator starter in the intake manifold. :?

Any thought on where I should start looking for the problem? Does the 710K have a low oil level switch that would keep the engine from starting.

Since I will probable do an oil change, any thoughts on the correct oil for Oklahoma weather 100+ degrees F in the summer and lows in teens?

Thanks,
Mike

Use common sense, check for spark and fuel delivery first.
Could be a bad connection (dirty) on one of the coil leads or a bad coil wire , or tons of other items. Get out the repair manual, and a test light.
