2014 Craftsman R1000, #247.290000 - Runs rough when it gets hot after about 20 minutes then quits. Will restart and run after it cools down, I replaced spark plug, fuel filter, ignition coil, cleaned carb, drilled a hole in the gas cap to prevent vapor lock, and tested the carb solenoid which is working. I am stumped!
 
runs rough, runs bad , sounds funny , not working proper.
We all know what you mean, but it is no use when trying to diagnose your problem.
You are there.
I am 16,000 km away so I really can not hear , see or smell your mower so it makes life a bit hard.
Not knowing what engine you have in your mower makes it harder still.

If it has a fuel solenoid, that could be your problem. Take it off, snip the nipple off of it. Then reinstall it.

Ah just noticed you said "coil" not "coils" so I guess your motor only has one not two coils like mine. In which case it probably doesn't have the diodes that appear to be causing the problem I had.
 
Or crud in gas tank. When it quits, pull fuel line from carb and check for free flow. If it's not free, clean tank, replace tank filter if there is one, think about replacing all fuel lines.

This thread is from 2017. Just saying.

Some folks get all excited when the unofficial thread time limit is crossed.
