Hello from a new member!
I've been searching the web trying to find an answer to the problem with my old wheel horse and have some decent answers, but thought i'd see what y'all have to say.
The mower will not stay running, especially up hill. If I sit and let it idle it'll run, but once i start it out in motion, it starts choking and dies. When I turn the deck on, it shuts
the deck off. If i keep pulling the knob and get the deck up to speed, it'll run for a while, then kill the deck and shut off. Its driving me crazy and I'm about to start some repairs
to see if I can fix it, but if y'all know of other things that i'm missing, please let me know.
I read that it could be the fuel cut off solenoid, so i'm going to be replacing that along with a carburetor rebuild since thats never been done either. The fuel filter has been replaced,
oil changed, battery charged, spark plugs changed, air filter changed, and fresh gas.
If there are any other routs to take to figure out what is wrong, help is greatly appreciated!
