    Bolan riding lawn mower will not stay running
    I have a bolan riding lawn mower that will not stay running. The plug, air and gas filters have been changed out. The mower will start and operate for 10 minutes or so then start skipping and shut down. Gas is new. Some times it will resart and other times it will not. Any and all help would be appreciated
    Thank you
