    My gt235 johndeere riding mowder won't stay running without choke on
    I am having trouble with my GT235 riding mower. It will not stay running when throttle is increased without the choke on. I recently replaced the fuel pump because it seems to be starving for fuel when throttle is increased. It will idle fine and runs good as long as choke is about 1/2 on. Fuel filter only seems to have a small amount of fuel in it, approximately 1/5th of its capability.

    Hi,
    That model had Briggs Vanguard engines on the earlier model and Kawasaki engines on the later models. Both were V-twin OHV engines. I will guess you have the Kawasaki engine since the first ones had ignition modules that would fail in just the way you describe. It has gone through a number of number changes and is now #MIA11064. Got so I would replace both when a problem surfaced since I knew the other would fail also.
    Peace,
    Clarke

My car is stalling out every 10 to 15 min. I can't even really drive it. But I notice that my brake pedal is very hard now...
