MGP, I just replied to your post on that other web site and basically said I had the exact same problem. In my case it was VERY hot outside (100+) and was mowing the neighbor's pasture. It revved up and then bogged down and died. Now, to me, the revving up tells me it went lean, (low on fuel)and then died due to fuel starvation.Momma towed me home, but when i got back on our property, still being pulled, I turned on the key and let out the clutch in 3rd gear, low range. Fired right up. The next day, same thing. I found what I think is a fuel return line on the back top of the fuel tank that had a hole worn thru. I patched that and then removed the fuel sediment bowl. i blew it out with the air compressor and a chunk of what looked like solder came out. Bled the enitre fuel system staring at the filters, then the injector pump and finally the injectors, using the manual lever on the pump. Shot a little ether into the intake, (like I always do when it's cold) and it fired right up and haven't had any problems since. Good luck and let us know what happens. CVhuck (CA)
