16 HP Craftsman motor When I mow the mower seems to overheat?? If I catch it in time and shut down the pto I can idle for a while then start mowing again, if not I have to let it set for awhile then start back up.
It is a Simplicity 16GTH with Craftsman 16 HP motor and 50" Deck, I can mow for about an hour then I can feel it start surging so I shut the PTO down and idle it down for awhile, then I can mow for a little longer and start the process all over again.
thats what I thought, but I have 2 engines, both with Identical craftsman stamps and logos on them, 16 hp. did briggs make them and craftsman sold them? can find no other identification on them. I bought the mower and extra engine off an old timer that tinkered on simplicities and he has since passed away.
