Default Need help with an old zero turn
this is a 50+ inch, bobcat t3100, kohler 20 horsepower. Been having problems with batteries and solenoid. I replaced battery with a 32 amp hour battery, it came with a 25 amp battery. I replaced solenoid and finally got it to where it will turn over.

Wired the solenoid according to diagram. It turns over but the battery slows down very quickly. I put an inductive timing light on it and it is getting fire but will not start.

I think it would start if I could get it to turn over more. Probably the compression is very low

Will it hurt anything if i put a battery booster on it to help the battery?

Thanks.
