I'll give it a shot

The issue started this summer. Since it first occurred I have rebuilt the carb, put on a new filter, cleaned the fuel tank, added a fuel stop ball valve, and new fuel lines. I was thinking it might have been because the fuel line was longer, so I shortened it, but that had no effect. It does...

Thanks, I'll give this a try.

I've done the troubleshooting aspect as far as I know. The tank was cleaned, carb rebuilt, and the hoses/and filter were replaced. I don't see how debris could be the issue. Is there a mod kit to shield the carb and lines?

Good suggestion, but fuel tank was cleaned. Do you recommend replacing the carb and solenoid?

I'm having the following issue. After I've been using the mower for 45 min or so, the mower starts sputtering and then quits. I noticed that the fuel filter is empty, and it appears that the carb is starved for fuel. I've seen a video online which lead me to believe it was getting vapor locked...

So let me give you all the final update. I ordered a replacement tecumsah coil. While I was waiting I thought I would try to drill out the Kohler replacement to make it fit. That was a BIG waste of time. I mangled the coil and ruined it. The one thing I realized was the the coil wire was much...

I should have done my research before buying this. I was in a hurry last year and just made sure it ran. I looked for oil leaks but didn't inspect the engine closely. The label on the mower said B&S 17.5 HP Intek and it was advertised as a 17.5 HP mower. I didn't know what to look for and didn't...

Thanks. Since the coil in the unit wasn't wired to the SAM in the first place, I just decided to go with another Tecumsah coil. It was cheaper than the time spent to replace the wire. I'll keep the old one as a spare. I'm keeping the rectifier though since I wasn't getting enough voltage to keep...

Ok, Thanks for all the suggestions.

There was nothing there, just a blank plate.

I agree about the direct battery voltage. There isn't any going to it the coil and there never was. I purchased a KH-25-755-03 replacement for the rectifier. The stator had 2 wires, Black and Yellow. I connected them to the outer connections of the rectifier. I connected my red power lead to the...

Not sure if you read thru from the start of the thread, but the LT1000 started life with a B&S 17.5 HP Intec. Somewhere along the line it was swapped with the Kohler. 1. The Speed advance module was never hooked to the coil. I don't know why. 2. I know. That was why I was wondering why they...

I really appreciate all of the back and forth. You both are really helping me sort this out. Let's take a step back one second so I can get my head around this. 1. How was the Digital Speed Advance module originally wired in from the manufacturer? I ask because it was only attached from the...

It didn't have genuine Kohler parts, hence the Tecumsah coil. Since I don't know what model this engine really is and what was changed, it is hard to determine what genuine parts I should get. It ran fine using the Tecumsah coil. The engine had the stator going to part 12 584 12 (see images). I...
