Bought a used Toro commercial walk behind two years ago. Has worked great. Mowed with it today. Ran and mowed fine for maybe 20 minutes, then started to stumble and nearly die. As if out of gas. Soon realized that if electric clutch is disengaged it will run fine. Re-engage clutch, it stumbles or even dies. If I let it sit for 15 minutes, I can mow again for 10 minutes or so.
Still learning how to trouble shoot an electric clutch and such. I figure someone here can point me in the right direction.
Most google searches lead me to pages about the engine dying when clutch gets engaged. Mine works like a dream for 20 minutes. But then nearly dies unless/until I disengage the clutch.
Heat related? But how? Where do I start? How does the clutch being engaged make the engine stumble? Somehow spark related?
Kawasaki V twin on it. Thank so much.
