Grasshopper 725 runs great for about 20-30 minutes then just dies. It then has to sit until it cools t o restart. Had a new coil put it and still continues. During the time it sits it does not have spark. Any ideas?

Is this electronic ignition or older points, condenser and coil system?

I believe it’s a Kubota

Clogged fuel filters will exhibit that symptom.

Kubby 3 cylinder gasser... I'd say clogged fuel filter or bad condenser. Could be a gunked carb from bad e-gas as well.

Fogged fuel filter would? It doesn’t spark after it shuts down.
