    I have a hustler - after I mows awhile and heats up it starts running really ragged.
    I have changed the gas and filters - It only gets rough after heated up - once cooled again it runs OK until heated up again Advice ?

    Hi,
    My first question would be "Do you have a Kawasaki FH series air-cooled V-twin engine on the machine?" The first few years had notorious ignition module problems. I had cases where I replaced one only to have the other fail. It got to the point where I campaigned (and won) to replace both modules with the newer modules under warranty. In many cases I could get adjustments on out-of-warranty machines. For some reason they can go for varying times but both seem to fail about the same time, like halogen headlamps.
    Peace,
    Clarke

    I agree with Clarke, But I would also have the valve clearance checked.
