First I would bypass all the safety interlocks and see if it still shuts down, if so I would test the ignition switch and if that does not find the problem, the kill wire may be shorting to the block under one of the wire clamps. If all that fails, try replacing the coil.

SOURCE: lawn tractor shuts off after 20 minutes of running

How old is your ? Sounds like ignition problem,If your engine is older you would have points when the points are bad they can stick together and will result in shutdown after unit cools a little it will restart !

You may try blowing backwards from behind the fuel filter into the gas line. Not to much air pressure though. Make sure the gas cap is off.

Husqvarna lgt24k54 keeps turning off

Interesting! Try seeing if it will run without the fuel tank cap on. There is normally a small hole to let air in as fuel is used, if this gets blocked the fuel will stop running from the tank. You probably won't be able to clean it well enough so a replacement cap shouldn't be too expensive.

Stall restart

Many ride ons have a breather in the filler cap to stop a vacume in the fuel tank, try just slackening off the fuel filler cap and see if it runs ok, if it doed just replace the filler cap

My mower will run for about 30 minutes then die and then have to wait for awhile and process starts all over. i have changed oil, spark plug, plug wire and coil, fuel filter, air filter and screen,...

Try this.
When the mower is about to die, loosen the gas cap.
My mower gas cap vent holes plugged up and kept stalling the mower.
If it works, drill out the vent holes.

Hi,


Check the Blade Safety Switch. Also check if the Carburettor requires a good cleaning and overhaul or not. After that check if there is any air leak or air in the fuel line.


Please accept the solution if it's helpful. Do get back to us for any further query.

Craftsman 17.5 hp 42 in. Deck Lawn Tractor

This sounds too easy of a solution but I had a like ptroblem with my Craftsman. I loosed the gas cap a bit and the rough running and stalling stopped. he vent on the gas cap that contains a turn over interrupt valve was plugged causing the gas not to flow. I took the cap apart and cleaned out the vent hole though cleaning the holewith a paper clip would have worked as well. Anyway..it fixed my problem. I think my dirty hands of deris deposited the matera in the vent hole when filling with gas.

Change your air filter, spark plug, fuel filter, and oil. Then make sure the gas is fresh. Gas starts going bad after a month. Spray carb cleaner in hole underneith the fuel filter. Oh yea dont put more than 20oz of oil in it.
