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.
SOURCE: engine stops after ~ 15 - 20 min of mowing
try changing the spark plugs. if that doesnt work check the fuek lines for hole and leaks, check the fuel filter and clean if necessary. remove the carbuerator and inspect the gasket; it should be soft and flexible, if it seems hard or brittle replace it. clean the carb with carb cleaner sray (available at any local auto parts store) and compressed air. make sure you get inside the small fuel rail holes.
SOURCE: Will not Start
There won't be any voltage going to the starter until the key is turned to 'start' with the brake locked down. And to check that, you need to disconnect the wire to the starter. I would first check the current going to the solenoid when the switch is turned to start by disconnecting the insulated wire going to the bottom of the solenoid and hooking a test light or voltmeter to it and turn key to start. Again the clutch/brake pedal has to be held/locked down. If there is power going to the solenoid but not to the starter, it's a bad solenoid. Hope I've explained this so you can understand. Dwain

If your unit has OHV engine you need to check the intake and exhaust valve gap. Call your local repair shop to get numbers and check this website out. Go to smalleng.com they have a video for just what you are looking for. Good Luck...

hi there dolson894
here is web site for owners manual
http://lawnandgarden.manualsonline.com/manuals/mfg/husqvarna/yth180.html
download owners yth180 manual it has a wiring diagram in it - may help
sounds like a starter solenoid problem, check for good grounding of the negative bat cable and grounding of the solenoid to the frame , check for 12 volt at the solenoid tab ( not the heavy contacts)
this wire solenoid tab wire comes from the S marked terminal from the main switch and power from the battery is taken from the HOT post of the starter solenoid up to the B terminal of the main switch, from there when contact made between B + L + S @ SWITCH voltage sent to solenoid for start
basic connections for switch in start mode is B + L + S
run / light B + L and Makes A + Y
run B + L off G+ M +L
check seat switch and brake switch - bypass with jump wire if need
across white to wjite wires on brake switch
see what hapens , the try a jump wire across the seat switch wires green to green and retry
if stil no good - replace solenoid as you mentioned with a jump cable straight on start motor turns over good
check out website
cheers hope it helps pauly46
