: Nathan, I have had that problem with lawnmowers. I would check to make sure the gas cap is vented. If not a gravity feed system will not flow fuel. I'm assuming that the tractor restarts and you are not cleaning the sediment bowl between restarts. Sounds like you should give the tank a good flushing also. Good luck, Mark Mark R alluded to a problem that I recently had with my Super C. It would run for a while sometimes most of the day and then quit like someone shut off the switch. I tried numerous remedies until one time when I was standing right beside the gas tank when the engine shut off. I heard gurgling in the tank and took off the cap to investigate and heard more air leak past the gasket. I inspected the venting on the cap and discovered that the accumulation of gasoline varnish, ect. had plugged the vent holes in the cap. A thurough cleaning and no more tractor stalling. Something new learned purely by accident and obversation. Sometimes we are lucky. : : : I use my cub tractor to mow with a woods belly mower. It starts well and runs well not missing a beat. On the average after running approximately 15-25 min it stops. I start it once again and off it goes running well. this may occur 3-5 times before I finish mowing. : : : I have cleaned the trash and debris out of the gas bowl numerous times. I use a high octane gas when running the tractor. I cleaned the carberator including a small filter where the gas enter the carberator. : : : Does anybody have any suggestions that may help? Thanks : : You are getting a vapor lock in your fuel system or your coil is : : getting to hot. Try a new coil.......
