It is a Kohler motor 19h. Its a Cub Cadet Lt 1042. What specs do you needs exactly? It starts cutting out and just sometimes dies while runniing while it is disengaged or engaged.

There are do many simple things that can go wrong - tune up kit is about 15.00 . Plug fuel filter (get the rubber fuel line too ) and an air filter is in the package . With a screw driver and a socket wrench you are tuning up the engine in less than five minutes .
Next - common problem in my shop is mice damage - follow the wire loom from the dash to the battery and to the engine. Look for a nest / chewed wires .
Dried out fuel line can suck air and shut you down . You spark plug coil can be failing . Chewed wire can be hitting medal and shutting you down.
Let us know what you checked ?
