I have a Sears Craftsman riding mower with the Kohler Pro engine (purchased in 2004). After running for 5 minutes, it loses power and dies. It has been doing this for 6 weeks. I have done the following:
--Replaced air filter and pre-filter
--Replaced fuel filter
--Replaced oil and oil filter
--Replaced battery (battery died)
--Replaced spark plug
--Add fuel stabilizer to the gas (in case I have water in the fuel line)
--Adjusted the fuel idle and fuel mixture settings.
None of this has helped.
The mower works fine for the first 5 minutes, but it then dies and I have to wait at least 5-10 minutes before I can start again and watch it die after running for 5 (or so) minutes.
Please help. Thx.
