With 110 hours on this machine I have had it quit running 4 times now. First few times figured I was out of fuel. Dump in more and away she goes.
Next time had at least a half tank, so I figured plugged fuel filters. Dealer keeps many in stock, so maybe that is a common problem. the added fuel put a little more head on the fuel to the first filter.
So with new filters and all fuel replaced with very well filtered fuel (fancy funnel even keeps out water) there maybe was 2 hours on the machine. So then today she quit again after 15 minutes running. Obvious plenty of fuel and only maybe 2 hours on the new filters. So I waited a minute and again she takes off not quitting for the rest of the mowing job (1/2 hr).
Now my guess is there is a plugged cap on the fuel tank. Taking it off to look in each time probably relieved the vacuum. Cap has openings all along the rim, aimed down.
None of the stops took place in the winter plowing snow. Only in warm weather.
Any thoughts?
