SERVICE REMINDER/HOUR METER
Service reminder shows the total number of hours the engine
has run and flashes to indicate that the engine or mower needs
servicing. When service is required, the service reminder will
flash for two hours. To service engine and mower, see the
Maintenance section of this manual.
NOTE: Service reminder runs when the ignition key is in any
position but “STOP”. For accurate reading, be sure key remains
in the “STOP” position when engine is not running.

I had the same problem so I looked under the mower and the belt that goes from the engine to the back of the mower was off so I pushed the clutch as far forward as I could and the belt went on it and it worked

carb dirty, jets partially plugged, float sticking. Not so uncommon problem and is caused by the fuel left in the carb over the winter gumming up (going bad). You can attempt to clean this on your own if you are somewhat mechanically inclined. Search small engine repair and it will give you a generic breakdown of the parts in a small engine carb. If not the, to have someone overhaul a small engine carb will run you about $120 including parts (at least around VA).

Could be, but test each item with your tester. Test key switch (12V in and 12 V out when turned to start., operator present switch 12V in 12V out (seat) Clutch switch, etc. till finally you test for 12V on the small terminal on the starter solonoid. Happy testing!
SOURCE: Where do you drain the oil on a kohler 26 hp twin
I have the same engine on my craftsman. there is a yellow cap on the opposite side from the oil filter. It's located low (for obvious reasons) near the frame. You will need to: remove the cap and connect a hose in order to not create a mess. (the tube was provided with the manuals when purchased) No oil will come out yet at this point. The oil starts to flow when you push in and twist the connector that the hose fits on to.
This was my first experience needing to use a hose to change oil, but it wasn't too bad. Have some paper towels handy though just in case, lol.
