Lawn mower dies after running for a few minutes - Will not stay running - Stalls - FIXED!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Our riding lawn mower starts and runs just fine, but then after approximately 30 minutes, it will sputter and stall. It will start back up occasionally but will not stay running. Often times it will not start back up. After scratching my head over this issue for a while, I determined that it was a faulty fuel cap. The ventilated cap must be clogged and not allowing the fuel tank to ventilate. The motor is drawing fuel from the tank and eventually the vacuum created is too strong for the motor to draw fuel from the tank and it stalls out. Simply unscrewing the gas cap allows air to rush in and pressurize the tank and the mower fires right back up!

Since I’m not the most mechanically inclined person I was getting ready for a big repair bill. Took the cap off and replaced it ensuring it was on properly, and BINGO!!! Thank you again for saving me significant amounts of aggravation/time/$!!!!

    Think you just saved my uncle a trip out here! In a wheelchair, but have a yard trailer I tow to haul my chair after transferring up and over. Love to do as much as I can in the yard, but when moving back into my home earlier this year, certain "family and friends " had helped themselves to most every tool that I owned, a 4x4, and almost a pocket bike. Oddly a nephew and friend were loading up a car they stored here when I arrived, noticed that my pocket bike was missing, certain loud words came out of me. The friend then said "uh, we loaded it my truck"... nephew said "didn't think you needed it" looking mad at his friend. Sadly have to have my almost retired uncle come over for most everything. He works insane hours like I used to. Feel bad to ask over stuff i could've fixed, just no tools. You may have saved the day!!!!!! Going to spray myself down with mosquito spray and roll around to where it died. Sudden temperature change here in Florida, I should've thought of it! Instant Subscription!!!

Never considered it might be the gas cap, but I guess so because I removed the cap then put it back on loosely enough to hold on. Started right up and I finished the lawn in the dark. I’ll look into cleaning the cap and purchasing another asap. Appreciate you taking the time to help us out!

    So many things it 'could be' but that cap whooshh was a give way... I basted the tiny hole on mine with carb cleaner (straw on the hole).....With mine, the fuel hose rearwards of the filter was suspended by a zip tie, and the weight of the hose was compressing it. I used my underpants method on the fuel hose: got rid of the compression point and let it swing..

    Checked the gas cap and nothing to clean. It is immaculate. This appears to be an intermittent thermal problem. Shutting down and monkeying with the gas cap gives it just enough time to cool down and cure the heat problem.

    It's a bad design. My dad's e150 does this. I went to my JD dealer, and I got a gas cap for 35 bucks. It's like 20 bucks on Amazon. It worked for 40 mins the shutdown again. The guy at the dealership told me it's a bad design of the fuel pump. They burn up. They wanted 100 bucks it. It is 30 bucks online.

Once it starts running better after a minute or two. I place the cap back on and keep going. So I guess the John deere shop near me doesn't have anyone idea either.

    If it isn’t the cap,or the filter, or the pump, there’s one more possibility. The fuel pick up tube that backtracks from the filter can become partially clogged and the debris is slowly pulled in/up choking off the fuel supply as the mower runs, mine would go for up to 30 minutes. You can lift the hood and watch the flow of fuel through the filter gradually slow then stop along with the engine. Use back pressure to clear the tube and remove the debris from the tank. The Deere dealership had it twice before I finally figured it out.

Behaviour doesn't change. When it stalls, the fuel filter is empty??? Tank at least half full. How can this be?... fuel lines and clamps all appear okay. Any further ideas.....????....

    I have a deere d105. Only 3 years old and only 47 hours in it. It runs perfect until it gets hot after 10 minutes and stalls. Won't restart. I put on a new carburetor, new fuel pump, new fuel lines, new coil and spark plug and new air filter and fuel filter. I figured the problem was over. Mower got 20 minutes and I figured the issue was fixed and boom it stalled out. I nearly flipped the hell out. The fuel cap on my mower doesn't release any pressure when I unscrew it so I'm not sure my issue is the cap. I'm totally lost. The friggin warranty ended 10 months ago (of course). I went to local John deere dealer. They want 85 dollars to just look at it up to a half hour. Then it's 130 an hour labor, plus their oem parts that'll be outrageous. I'm in need of any info from anyone here

    If you still having issues try some starter fluid in the carb or spark plug hole. If it still won’t at least try to start it’s probably electrical. If it starts for a few minutes and dies probably a fuel problem. This won’t pin down exact cause but may point you in the right direction.
