Hi, Needs some guidance here. I have a 2000 LT1000 Craftsman with the B&S 17hp. It runs well for about 10 minutes under load then starts running rough, let it sit for awhile because it will not restart put a charger on it then after about 30 minutes it'll restart, sometimes it's good for the rest of the day and sometimes, it'll do the rough running all over again and die. doesn't burn any oil but I did find signs of oil in the intake. I've pulled the carb apart and cleaned it, but it wasn't dirty or gunked up. I tried pulling the air filter, but that makes no difference whether it starts or not. I've cleaned all electrical connections and plugs Any ideas would be deeply appreciated.
It seems that it will run balls out until until I engage the blades then it will only run about 1 minute before it dies and will not restart until cooled down.
Thank you,
Mike
