WD Shutting Down

I thought it was the float sticking but it seems fine , She starts and runs for a few minutes then stops . I wait a bit and she does the same thing again . I removed the gas line at the carb and the gas flow is okay but not real strong . Any suggestions ?

Thanks -- Larry
 
Try checking for spark as soon as she dies. It's possible your coil is going bad. Does she just die instantly or "choke out" and die slowly? Does pulling the choke out keep her running a bit longer?

my little ferg did this one time
it was the coil, as soon as the motor block got the coil warm it expanded the break in the coil wire and the motor would stop running.

when it does this you should not get any spark.

if no spark, when it stops running, replace the coil
hope it works for you, as it is a easy fix..
 

I tried to keep her running with half choke but it makes no difference , never thought of the coil , in fact I have an external resister on the outside of the coil maybe that's the problem .

Could be the fuel. I would make sure the sediment
bowl is clean and then loosen the gas line at the
carburetor to see if you have a steady stream of
gas. If gas is getting into the carburetor, the
bottom carburetor jet could have trash.
 
I chased a similar problem for a couple years... would be pulling the mower or what ever and the thing would just stop. Wait a few minutes and it would start right up and might run fine the next couple times I used it, then again it might not. Turns out there was a small piece of a leaf in the fuel tank that would move around and sometimes find a home on the fuel outlet. Hate to think how many hours I spent trouble shooting that problem all caused by that little SOB. :evil:
 
Larry, make sure that the vent in the gas cap isin,t
plugged.I went through the same thing. Turned out to be
the problem, Don.
