I took delivery of a shiny new mower deck and tiller on Friday, so I was eager to get to chopping down the mess of weeds that had sprung up on a couple of acres of ground that will become an orchard next year. It was hot - about 90F ambient - and after 4 hours of fun (and on the second tank of fuel) and nearly finished with the work, the engine just....faded to a stop. Not a violent thing at all, just the mechanical equivalent of the hard working mule sitting down and saying "nope, we're done for a bit." After a 15 minute water break I went back, took a minute to shake out the precleaner foam (it was filthy as expected), and it fired right up no problems at all.
Has anyone else had this happen with the PT-425 with the Kohler Command Pro 750 engine? I think what happened was simple vapor lock from the heat, but maybe there's more to it? Otherwise, everything seems fine...
