I have a Craftsman 25hp 54inch Kohler pro automatic trans tractor. It is three yrs old. Never had any problems until I went to start it the other day. I pulled the choke like I normally do to start. But when I push the choke in after a few minutes . It stalled time after time. It never did this before. I cleaner the carb. changed the plugs, changed the air and fuel filter. Still having the same problem. I did find that the seat switch is bad. I left it in the rain by accident recently. Can I get some feedback on this problem. Thanks in Advance.

You may have water in gasoline. Use a turkey baster to suck gas out, let tank get completely dry, and turn motor over with spark plug out to dry out cylinder. Plugs can also water foul and act sporadically. Good luck.

Sounds like water to me also, you can also disconect fuel line from carb and drain that way. Look into container for signs of water, it will pool up in the bottom and separate from gas.
