What's the orange light coming on before the stall?

The ECM was re-flashed right?

Can you get it to stall with you NOT in the seat?

Mike
That orange light is low fuel indicator. Unfortunately when I purged the tank I somehow messed up the fuel level sensor, so tank reads empty. I had just put about 4 gallons in, so it wasn’t low.

Yes, ECU was reflashed. Tech said it was same version.

TBH, not sure about off seat stalling. I think so, but I think I only tried once.

Can you call factory Rep.

Had email exchanges with factory rep, said he needed the computer error codes, hence trip to dealer.

Waiting for coffee to finish brewing. 48° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 77° with evening thunderstorms. After doing some measuring. Used a 3/4" piece of stock bolted in front of chute stop on mower deck. This allows grass to shoot out of mower the full with of 72". Instead of creating a windrow. After trying it out I did the rest of grass mowing that I did not do after changing mower blades. Cleaned up shop and spent some good time on porch.
Will put BBQ cleaning and spareribs on top of todays list of things to do.
Forsythia shrub put out this one last group of flowers this week.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

Pretty good day - I think.

Got the bay cleaned out for the scag work, including enough horizontal surface. Actually got the Scag running and didn’t do any major mechanical work. Closest we came was pulling the flywheel to check the key. Perfect. Just scratching our heads and going back to believing it was a timing issue. Did tweak the valve adjustments.
Problem is electrical. Pulled the black leads off the coils and it cranked and started. Apparently, the electronic module has gone bad again. Current one replaced last Oct. The module, via these leads shuts down the engine. Sadly, I had dismissed this module as being the problem as my only prior experiences were no crank at all. So now it starts just fine and when keyed off the fuel solenoid is triggered and engine dies. Replacement module on order.

Possible good news on my LS tractor as well.
I ‘ve always viewed as a complex issue, fuel starvation, somehow with a temperature component, leading to electric chaos. Could ECU be suspect? My wallet hoped not and tech reflashed. So with the hood up, Jim and I walked thru. Light bulb moment. What if the ECU was over heating due to its location so near radiator?

That could trigger a fuel sensor, it could become progressively more frequent as the temp went up, recovery would improve as temp normalized, and it could trigger electrical weirdness. Sound reasonable? I’m hopeful.

Tomorrow I will look to install a 12vdc fan in vicinity of ECU.

good Saturday morning all
a cool 50 out now going up to mid 80's,should be another lovely day
only plans for today are redoing the veggie garden.
Will pick rest of radishes (which are not good) and lettuce so I can then clean out that bed
and plant squash and melons.

had nice dinner with friend last night, sat outside and ate while listening to the birds chirp away.
Temp was perfect and very enjoyable.

David, glad Scag is cooperating and possible fix on LS. Not a good design if natural engine heat messes up
electronics. Not that hot where you are anyway vs summer in the South. Hope the fan helps.

didn't Chrysler have that problem with the first "lean burn" ECU in their cars?

Buppies, hope your morning is nice and that the day brings you smiles.

41F clear sky 80F for high sunny day.

Plans for today...4 hours at part store,afternoon yet to decide.

Enjoy your day all.

Good morning, the low is 47 and going to a high of 77°F. Wind calm. Sunny!

I guess I will have to get my garlic spray happening today and pi$$ the blackflies right off.

Today should be mower blade sharpening day, but we will see.

Have a safe day all

Thomas you are a lucky guy to have a pet bear.
they sure are tough on bird feeders though.

headed out to pick last of lettuce on a lovely cool morning with a bright blue sky out.

later on today less nice to be outside due to tourist traffic.
a beautiful warm Saturday in the beginning of summer is going to bring out an enormous amount of traffic
today.
then my little once all farmland home town turns into a marketing bazaar of great proportions as the visitors flock in
from Philadelphia and New York. they like to walk the South end of town and look at all the somewhat strange shops and
lots of restaurants.

I and the rest of the locals know better and seek out the back roads to get away from the traffic grid lock.

Bill, have a wonderful day. You deserve a bunch of them.

46 and clear, going to 82. Another wonderful day.

Sodamo, hope your fix works today. Sounds promising.

Wag, things must be really tough when you have to put off procrastination.

Scott, I love your view of the mountains.

Mostly, I bet the USPS won on your password disagreement.

Well, Della was resting quietly beneath my desk as I am sitting here reading TBN. All of I sudden I detected a chewing sound, and sure enough, she just chewed the computer speaker wire in two that runs from my laptop to the speakers and sub. Just one more "accomplishment" on her puppy resume.

I hiked Old Rag yesterday. Left home at 4am so I could catch the low 40s temps and beat the crowd. Met another retired guy at the trailhead who was doing the same. Big parking lot was almost empty at dawn, and full at noon when I returned. Great hike.
