Howdy folks,
Having a problem with my Troy Bilt LTX-1842. Runs and cuts fine until it gets warm. After about 10-15 minutes of cutting it tries to cut off, almost like it's starving for fuel. As it tries to die, I can disengage the PTO and it will come back, and often surge to a very high RPM before settling back down. As long as I don't try to engage the PTO, I can drive it around and it won't die. I can engage the PTO and it wont die as long as I'm not driving. Basically, once the mower is warm, I can't drive and engage the PTO at the same time. I've ruled out the usual suspects when a mower starts sputtering: fuel supply seems fine with no clogged lines or filter, valve on the fuel tank cap isn't stuck, changed out the spark plug, air filter is new, carburetor is new (problem existed with the old carb as well, and adjusting the tuning screws makes no difference). Any other ideas? Thanks...
