I've been having trouble for a long time with my Simplicity regent. It has a Kohler high output 16 horse engine. Ever since I bought it 4 years ago, every six months or so I have to take it back for starting problems.
REPLACED.
Battery
Ignition switch
some safety switch
carb jet nozzles
I had a melted connector on my solenoid I replace. Now the battery seems to not have enough to get it going. When I hook it up to my battery charger on jump start mode it takes off. Then when I go to just battery the starter seems to kick in but not enough to turn the fly wheel? I just got the starter tested and it works great. Then just recently the sulfur smell. Please, the local dealer couldn't find it after six services. Help if anyone can!
The smell you of sulfur is probably coming from your battery and I will bet your starting problem is the battery. I am guessing you have one of those motor cycle batterys on your mower. If so, If they aren't kept charged they go bad very quickly. The melted connector on the solenoid could have been just a loose connection that caused that. I would check all your electrical connections and be sure they are tight if you have a loose connection the battery can not charge. it will also cause heat which will cut down the voltage to the starter. Fill free to send me a e-mail if you wish. Hope I have been some help.

Simplicity Lawnmowers Review
Simplicity lawn mowers are manufactured by Simplicity Manufacturing, Inc., which was founded in 1922 by William J. Niederkorn in Port Washington, Wisconsin – a small, family-oriented community along the shores of Lake Michigan.
