I have the above machine, this one is built by LS Cable.
I use it primarily for mowing our field with a brush hog on the PTO. It runs for a while and then will just die, acting like it's starving out of fuel. Starts right back up again and then may stay running for a while, or may just die out again. SEEMS like it's more when it's warmed up than when it's cold. I replaced the fuel filter a couple hours (clock time) ago.
This happened last year and the mechanic said it was the ignition switch, which was replaced. I noticed that when it dies out, if it's just sitting idling, I hear what sounds like a 'click' just before it starves out again.. but haven't been able to start it and hear exactly WHERE the click comes from. The glass bowl on the fuel filter is full, filter looks fine. It's so weird and random. It may stay running for 15 minutes, or 2 minutes. I did notice that when it's acting up, when I get above about 2000 rpms it seems to just starve out also and die quicker... once it starts to die, no feathering of the throttle or anything helps it keep running. Seems like a fuel issue but with the ignition switch replacement last year that seemed to fix it, I'm confused for sure. Thanks!
