Riding Mower Keeps Stalling

April 29, 2017

My mower which is a Yard Machine runs for a while then it shuts off, but won't start until it cools down. I need to know what the problem is because my yard looks like a forest.

Check the gas cap vent. When the engine starts to want to fail, unscrew the cap and see if it kicks back up.

The carborateur may need to be cleaned out.

My Poulan 42 inch deck, 16.5 hp, 6 speed riding mower shuts down when I try to engage the blades. It is less than a year old. What could be wrong?

You may want to check out the safety switches. For example,on my riding mower if I lift up off the seat while the mower is running it will shut down.

Our John Deer (DON'T BUY ONE) does this also, we have to let it warm up some even if it is warm out, then it will stay running and the blades will operate ok. good luck! sometimes i have to try to start blades several times before it stops killing the engine and will go.

When I engage the clutch pedal to place mower in gear it kills the engine. It's been running great for 6 1/2 yrs. Can you help me? I think it may be a safety switch? If I knew where it was at on mower!

My Yardmachine starts, but cuts off.

I recently purchased a used Yardman as a backup to my new Troybilt and it stalls after about 20 minutes of mowing. I replaced the starter solenoid on advice from a friend after jumping across the pos/neg and it started. After replacing it I mowed again and after about 20 minutes the same thing happened. I jumped it across pos/neg again it started, but this time I parked it and went back later and it started. I guess it doesn't always mean a bad solenoid if you can jump across it and start it!


Anyway I have replaced fuel filter, shortened and rerouted the fuel line, added fresh gas, removed and cleaned the carb, and still the same thing. Could it be the safety switch getting hot or the fuel solenoid? I haven't tried either one yet and haven't checked the spark, but runs fine for 20 minutes so I doubt spark plug. Thanks for any advice!

Update! Replaced spark plug and air filter is new. Also I tried pulling choke slightly when going under an incline as it started stalling and the engine smoothed out and it kept running. I read on another post that maybe the fuel filter is too small. I replace what I thought looked like a very small solid color filter that was barely bigger than the fuel line with a small clear normal looking filter I wonder could this still be too small.

Someone mentioned 75 micron filter is best I don't know what size the one I out on is because I picked up 2 of them at a bargain Chinese tool outlet of sorts. They had bigger ones even so I might try that. Anyway thought I would mention the filter.

I am having the same problem with a craftsman mower hVE REPLACED THE IGNITION COIL disabled the antibackfire solinoid on the bottom of the carb i have decided it has to be something elec. that heats up am thinking about doing away with all the safety devices and wireing it like the old mowers one wire from the switch to the coill and two wire to the starter it is so frustrating to mow for 5 min.

and it splutters and dies and has to sit for about 15 min. before it will run again

My zero turn keeps on bugging out even though I replaced the fuel line, cleaned out the gas tank, and ran a wire hanger through the fuel line. And it is still bugging out. Can someone please help me out?

Is the ignition set too high so that you periodically flood the engine? If it starts up easily enough after a pause, this might be the cause.

Try it with the gas cap off. If it runs, you may have a clogged vent.

By any chance, does it have the safety feature of where when you get up it cuts out?? I just remembered that ours had to have that safety switch replaced once, because it was causing the motor to cut out.

Sounds like you flooded the gas tank.
