Sorry if i was posting mis-information, it was more so a question to the proper technicians based on conversations with some local shade tree guys. I wasnt claiming any record book claims, hell im on here trying to find an approach to resolving this "shut down when hot, otherwise runs flawless"...

T.y for this info. ..

No but no noises n runs amazing No but runs gr8 till hot under pto load usually 1.5 to 2 hrs the bluh Shut down. Restarts a minute later and shutdowns get more frequent from there. Does that sound like bad valve timing

Carb and i agree mpt likely I was more hoping some 1 would chime in woth first handle knowledge... The blown motor, head gasket, timing Dont add up to runs gr8 till hot then shuts down only whilenunder pto load

Thats!!! What me and my small engine pal discussed... i assume dealer did it during troubleshooting but the report i just got emailed doesnt reflect such....isnt valve lash on these motors 10 minutes tops?

Where may she b located?

Oh, yes i understand the premise, i was asking what may be implied because there is a tiny bit of oil or dust on cooling fins... i thought there was may be some seconday failsafe system shutdown circuit... Yet what i think you are implying, is major internal damage i.e. valve guides/head gasket...

T.y t.y for that I thought it was Loncin made appreciate the clarification. On the mower, its a 2022 2 - blade model exmark radius E series

Wiring to fuel solenoid seems fine?

Im no ace tech, so when i ask ?'s it's in the spirit of learning and troubleshooting... so what are you thinking about oil and debris buildup on cooling fins? I only ask as with daily use and living in a dust bowl, probably all 4 of our mowers look about like that? If any ever had spills/leaks...

Yes the problem went away after new pto switch/clutch/wire harness..... but the mower also got a lot less daily use as we bought another mower to offset any shoptime

Well i do have a pile of cheap Toros... this mower (while a cheaper entry level model) def. has a bunch more wiring and a seperate proper parking brake that locks it unlike the timecutters that u simply put handles in park.(if thats what you were describing) could the safety switch simply be...

Had it back say a year or so :/ dealer says im out of warranty, oof. 708cc engine.

The intermittent-ness is the problem once it dies ... and i hop off n check fuel its good. I check spark, and it seems fine. Yet something is causing a random and immediate shut down. Doesn' t actually remind me of a fuel restriction, as when it dies it will only do it when blades are engaged...

Mower has ran great til 390 hours.suddenly instantly shuts down when mowing. It took about 1 or 2 hours of use before it started having this issue. I took to dealer and got run around for weeks couldnt recreate issue. I replaced coils/plugs/fuel pump fuel filter..... same problem :/ Called...
