B-10nut 0 Posted October 30, 2005 I have a 14hp in a 900 series tractor. I have used it a few times cutting the grass. It idles fine but when you run the tractor for about 5 minutes, it starts to cut out. Then I pull the choke out and it will run close to normal. If I push the choke back in the engine dies. Thanks for any help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B-10nut 0 Posted October 30, 2005 Yes I have adjusted the needle valve. The tractor runs great wide open for about 5 minutes and then dies unless I pull the choke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BLT 717 Posted October 30, 2005 Make sure your fuel tank cap is vented. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul_B 0 Posted October 30, 2005 Also check to make sure nothing is obstructed in the fuel line/tank. Check the fuel filter and tank screen if you tractor has them. Also try runninng the tractor with the fuel cap loose and see if that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
