The tractor starts easily when cold and runs smoothly at full power ( under load or not). After the engine has warmed up it will start to sputter, lose power and then quit. Sometimes it will backfire when quitting.
The fuel pump is only receiving 6.5 volts but is working with a strong flow of fuel. It too, will eventually shut down ( usually after 45 minutes of run time) but it will operate again after the tractor has cooled down.
A common problem with these Kawasaki engines is that the time delay module will fail but mine tests out okay with 12 volts coming out of each of the positive wires. Ground connections are good also.
Looking for suggestions.
Thank you.
