    Riding lawnmower problems
    I have an older riding lawnmower that all of a sudden cuts off once it runs for about 10 minutes. It starts to smoke and has a strong gas smell. After we let it sit for a long time it will start up and run for another 10mins and runs hot and cuts off again. Please help I hope it is not a blown gasket.:confused: :

    Check the fuel cap, the vent may be clogged.
