Sputtering problem
 

I own a Cub Cadet 1554 with a 27HP Kohler engine. No problems for 7 years and well maintained by myself, 219 hours total. While bagging leaves and cutting grass under load the cub runs for 10 minutes and then all of a sudden sputters out. Will restart and run but does not run long after first issue. Replaced the fuel pump, air filter, fuel filter, spark plugs and added sea grass to the fuel and carb. Sent to dealer and they replaced fuse panel??? and gas cap. Problem remains any suggestions to problem??

I thought fuel or carb related now think electronic, heat, electrostatic drive related to blades or even a safety device getting too hot??

Dealer cannot find intermittent problem.

Find a different dealer. If you paid a dealer and they didn't fix it, you can bet your a$$ they would get it right.


Intermittent electrical problem. Like you said, most likely heat/poor connection related. Could be 1 of about 25 things. If you are hell-bent on fixing it yourself, you need to do some diagnostic work. Find out if it is losing spark for sure, or if it is fuel related. You didn't give us anything to work with. "Get's hot and dies" on that machine could be a lot of different things.
