Husqvarna Riding Lawn Mower Yth24v48ls 48 Inch Cut Logo
Posted on Aug 26, 2011

My YTH24V48LS will run good and mow for approx 30 minutes then just cuts out and the engine stops all of a sudden. It has done this from 1st purchasing it. The BRIGGS engine seems to run extremely hot as trying to touch the oil filter when this happens is imposible as its like touching a red hot stove top. I wait approx 10 minutes and it will start with the throttle in the full choke position but runs only another 10 minutes. Took the air cleaner off and put my hand over the intake and it starts. Any advice as the dealer is not cooperative.

I had this same problem. Make sure fuel Cap is not too tight. There is three grooves on the backside of cap to let air in tank but if you tighten cap to hard it crushes these grooves to a tight seal. When vacuum in tank finally reaches same level as carburator suction then fuel flow stops and engine dies. When putting gas cap on just give it a spin and then maybe a 1/4 turn just to snug it. Next time it stalls take gas cap off and you should not hear air gushing in. If you do your cap was too tight and it will now start right-up.

Just received my model 247.290001 mower was mowing when engine dies and will not turn over now

Did it stop suddenly? Or splutter and cough like an engine problem? If suddenly I'd suggest checking the seat switch wire hasn't become disconnected, if this doesn't solve it then check all the other safety switches.

Have a cub cadet 50 inch cut zero turn, after cutting grass for 30 min or so it acts like wants to die but if I shut the PTO off it catches up but will start to die if I reengage the blades. starts a

When it starts cutting out and you turn off the PTO, how long do you have to wait until it can be turned on again? It sounds as if your PTO is overheating and loading down the engine. Run the mower for about 10 minutes, shut it off, and carefully feel the PTO housing. Resume cutting and repeat after it starts cutting out.

Replacing it is not as simple as changing the spark plug, but does not require an advanced degree.
