I have a Craftsman riding mower. It has a Honda 16.5 hp twin cylinder engine. Model # 917.273500. We have just replaced just about everything on the mower. Here is the list,
New fuel tank, new fuel lines, new fuel filter, new fuel pump, new spark plugs, new battery and blades. Mower starts and runs great and sounds great, then after about 20-30 minutes it starts sputtering, missing and losing power. I look forward to any help, suggestions, tips anyone has.
Thanks
Dan

A hot cylinder head from carbon will ignite the fuel before the compression stroke is complete - loss of power ...
