I logged in here hoping for help - have a 1 yr old Ariens push mower with a Kohler Courage XT-6 motor. Started right up after the winter, but darn thing won't stay running. No easy way to get to the choke as it's all "automatically" factory set. What a pain in the butt !!! Mowed a 3 foot strip & stuck . I mow about 1 acre, mostly flat, but kinda rocky in spots. My 1966 Agway ride on is finally totally deceased - pretty frustrated as I'm sure I overpaid for the new mower @ Lowe's Any suggestions would be welcomed
