I was out leveling the drive for about three hours and she died... I was out of gas. Refilled and went ten more minutes and died. Fuel pump no pumping. Put new oem on and machine started ran 2 minutes died. Cleaned carb twice. Start run die. Grabbed a universal electric pump and put on started and ran for 3 minutes and died. .. I'm at the end of the rope so it's either toss parts at it or ask for help...HELP !

Sounds like the breaker perhaps?  Let it sit, it cools down and resets.  Runs for a bit and shuts down, something drawing too much juice or a short somewhere.  When it dies right away, dump a tad of fuel in the air filter and see if it re-fires, if not I doubt it's fuel.

It's wierd brett. The second it dies it fires right back up. No prob. Runs 2-3 mins. Dies . Restart instantly. What breaker are we referencing Brett?

@Brettw is probably referring to the main breaker between the battery and ignition switch. If it trips, you lose power to the KT battery ignition.  
 

To test his theory you could power the coil temporarily with a wire directly from the battery.  If the engine keeps running, you’ve found the issue.  (Be sure to make the temporary wire easy to disconnect so you can stop the engine)

Hello, I don't know if this is relevant, I had a A 7117  that would run real bad or trouble starting. The points plunger allowed oil to get  on the points .  

Hope this helps 

Thanks Ken  in  Mi

  I ran into a problem that was very close to this although the engine was a Magnum. I'm not sure the same issue would apply to a KT but maybe worth a shot.

  On the magnums the air bleed vent routed through a hole in the front of the carb. This hole lined up with the filter elbow that bolted to the carb.  This vent was plugged in the elbow. pulling the choke would help it run poorly for a bit before dying.

Line is clear and tank and vent pristine ( new). I tried that first lol thank you

Have a Kohler on a Cub Cadet, newer engine than yours, and had a first to me problem earlier this summer. Fuel filter was clogged. Ran great for a few minutes, died, restarted, ran a few, died, repeat..Replaced fuel filter..like having a new machine!
