Engine stalls at start up
Kohler SV541 18 hp engine stalls at start up. My 3 year old lawn tractor starts right up but stalls when I take my foot off the clutch unless I keep the clutch engaged for several minutes. After those several minutes I can release the clutch and the engine runs perfectly. This happened all last season too. Weather doesn’t matter either, cool spring or hot summer the engine stalls at start up. I’m starting the fourth season cutting a half acre lot with this tractor and there are only 32 hours on the meter. The air filter and pre-cleaner is new and the oil has been changed. I use gas stabilizer for winter storage. Is this a quirk of the engine or what? Any suggestions?
