I bought this bobcat, used it for about 10 minutes then it died completly. It's an older Clark 530 bobcat with Kohler engine, the guy said it ran well, when we loaded it, it started fine. Now its dead. Any suggestions? I put fresh gas in it and one new spark plug.
 
You need to give more info, does it spin over? and lights?
If it spins, take a plug wire off and remove a plug, rest it on a metal cover and spin it, look for a spark.
There are different stages of dead :)

Have you checked the engine oil? Is it full? Is it clean? Or smell like gasoline is in it? Some smaller engines have a "shut down" / "protection" electrical circuit that opens or grounds the ignition system in the event if the oil level is too low. So, please advise if that is good to go.
