    Craftsman LT100 mower trouble
    Was tuned up in May of this year and ran OK for a while. Starts and runs for a half tank of gas then stops. Happened several times. Was told it could be bad gas. Got a good brand of gas additive with same results. Was told it could be a bad gas cap so replaced it with same results as before. The last time it ran well but stopped to talk to neighbor after turning it off, tried to start again but would not start. Was getting gas in carburetor. I have been in the drivers seat every time the mower was running so the seat was engaged for operation. Thinking it may still be the gas, drained tank got new gas, but haven't tried to start yet. Any suggestions on what the problem could be?

    Hi,
    I am thinking you mean an LT1000. Where is the fuel tank? Model number is always helpful.
    Peace,
