Sounds like a malfunction vacuum petcock. Possibly just a cracked or leaking vacuum line operating the vacuum diaphragm. With the choke on there is enough vacuum to operate the petcock , but as it warms up the reduced flow from the partially closed petcock feeder line causes you to run out of gas when trying to drive at speed. Check the vacuum line for damage and replace if necessary. Check the fuel petcock for internal damage. If vacuum diaphragm is cracked or has a pinhole replace the petcock assembly about $75)(K&L may have a rebuild kit about $30).

When I start my Kawasaki Mule 3010 with the choke out when cold it will start and then seems to run the carb out of gas and stalls. If I wait 5 to 10 min and try it it will start and it will run fine

Sounds like not getting petrol, clean petrol tap to get a good flow and clean and strip carburetor the needle and seat could be clogged any way clean and blow out jets and holes with compressed air put back together and away you go.

My JCB 5.5hp mower starts then chugs and stalls after about 10 seconds. I do try to adjust the choke but to no avail. Can anybody advise please

The carburetor might be dirty. I would clean the carburetor and replace diaphragm if your carb has one. Sounds like the engine is not getting enough gas to stay running. Hope this helps!

Suburban stalls while driving after running for 15-30 minutes. After letting it sit for 5-10 min it runs fine for another 5-10 minutes, then starts doing it all over again.

a bad crank sensor can cause this. shuts off while going down road, and will start about 10 min, later with no problems runs fine until it quits again. hope this helps,

There may not be an in-line fuel filter on the bike. Most bikes don't come with them. Yes, the fuel petcock has two screen filters on one pipe and they can get clogged up. Remove the tank then remove the petcock and clean it. The gas in the tank should be dumped into a clear plastic storage bin so that you can see if there is any water in the gas as well as rust and trash. Your bike is 15 years old and the inside of the tank may be rusty. If so, Google kreem fuel tank liner “ or go to

www.http://www.4secondsflat.com/Fuel_Tank_Sealer.html

This will end the rust problem. Go ahead an install an in-line fuel filter. There is a drain plug on the lower left side of each carb. Drain each carb into a clear container and look for water and trash. You may need to clean the carbs but hold off to see if the other stuff fixes the problem.

Go to the site below where you can see a parts diagram for your specific bike. You will select the actual brand, year, model, etc., once you go to the site. Part numbers and prices are also shown. You can order parts from this site. In the event no price is shown on a particular part, the part is not in stock.
