My dad has been having problems with his Scotts lawn tractor (a John Deere brand). It"s about 5 years old. He lives some distance away so I have limited opportunity to troubleshoot when I"m there visiting. When the ignition key is turned, the starter spins up the flywheel but the engine will not catch for quite a few seconds. In the meantime, a whole lot of fuel leaks and spits out of the exhaust making a puddle on the ground. Once it starts, it runs fine and will start without a problem as long as it does not get a chance to cool off. I have checked the obvious (fuel and air filter have been replaced, spark on the spark plug seems fine, no obstructions in the carburator). There is what appears to be a sensor on the bottom of the carburator bell housing and since I don"t have a repair manual for this tractor I am not sure what it does or if it could be at fault. It has a single red wire running from it. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions? Thanks in advance.
