sounds like the motor is over heating, check OIL, Level, run a thicker oil in summer, use standard 30 wt, oil
not a combination oil, like 10w-30 check air passages, screen on flywheel, , has it always done this? did it just start ? was it hot out side,?
had it rained lately ? did you hit something with the blade ? lot of factors can cause this,
Make sure the pump keeps running when you start the engine. The pump will shut off after a few seconds if you just turn on the key then don't start the engine. That's normal. But the computer is designed to detect that the engine is running and if so, keep the fuel pump running as well. If the computer somehow isn't detecting that the engine is running, you probably have a faulty sensor, connector or wire. Make certain that you check the wire! Sometimes the wire can be damaged and the fuel pump will not run. Good luck.
if the vehicle won't start.
It could be out of gas.
Check timing belt
there is somthing blocking the magnito or its broken (the magneto)
accelerator pedal could have some strain in it and might be leaking petrol into the carburetor
A motor is always going to be hot to the touch because when it is running it is very hot and takes awhile to cool down after it is shut off. If an engine is hot to the touch, it just means it was recently running.
There could be many reasons why your Sears riding lawn mower won' shut off. The key could be jammed for example.
dirty carb... needs cleaned out with carb cleaner (at auto stores) autozone etc. or replace it
I can start my car fine, drive it for awhile, then its like after it gets warm it seems to stall, and shut off, then after tryin to restart a few times that battery acts as if its dead. I will sit there and wait for about 20-30 minutes and it will start right up like nothing happened, just to do it all over again. Can you tell me what the problem is?
The engine may not be getting the fuel it needs to keep running. If you know there is sufficient fresh fuel in the tank, look for a clogged fuel filter.
If the fuel filter isn't clogged, the carburetor main needle valve may need to be adjusted.
It is possible but not very common. Usually a bad carb will cause a non-start issue or it will shut off within minute or two if it has a stuck float valve causing it not to get gas.
The seat safety switch is not working properly correctly. If the safety does not sense that there is anyone on the seat then it will shut down the mower. This keeps the mower from running over someone if they would happen to fall off while mowing. Or if the safety is working you may have bad bearings on your deck and that will also stall your motor, or something jammed in the blades.
CO is toxic. It's usually what kills you when you run the car in the garage with the doors shut for awhile. Don't run the car in the garage with the doors shut for awhile. So, false.
Let go of the "deadman" handle.
Normally you will start to hear a loud grumbling sound from underneath the mower when the blades are engaged. With the mower shut off, release the tension from the belt for the blades. Raise the deck so you can grab the blades from the bottom. You should not be able to rock the blades from side to side or up and down. If you can then you probably have a bad spindle. You can do this for wach of the spindles to check them all.
