Got a curious issue on my Scag Turf Tiger, 27hp Kohler Command engine (model number is STT52A-27CH and Mower Serial number is 9360106). It's about 10 yrs old with ~500hrs. Used only for my 5-acre lot.
During my last two mowings, I was going along happily and suddenly the motor dies, with no sputtering or any kind of warning. I hit the key and it re-starts immediately as if nothing had happened. I don't have a lot of data points yet as the problem has just started occurring, but it has generally been about 1/2 hour or more into mowing. It happened twice yesterday in about a 15-minute interval and then ran like a champ the rest of the time.
I know that the sky is the limit here as to possible causes, but just hoping you can recommend a few things to check first. For instance, I'm wondering if the fuel pump could be going bad or is there a particular safety sensor that is prone to misbehave, etc.?
Thanks in advance.
