dying for no reason

[dwason]

My John Deere with a Briggs & Stratton 20 horsepower V-Twin will be running just fine and suddenly it will spit and sputter for a few seconds and then die. After simply removing the fuel line at the fuel filter and re-installing again, the mower will start and run fine again. Why does it keep dying?

Maybe the fuel filter is dirty and stopping fuel flowing.

Is your fuel tank vent open?

Bump on that!!!I'd start with checking vent on tank or cap.
