    Posted: 14 Apr 2015 at 5:23pm
Finally got above 60degrees. Had a chance to look at tractor. Started right up. Ran for about 5 minutes. Then stopped. Can't get it started again. Didn't have time to mess around. What could be wrong? It was running great, then suddenly off. No chugging or gasping or anything, just stopped. Check wires quickly? All seem to be on. Small Wire to starter was loose and hot, tightened but still not starting.

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Turn gas on.  Put gas in it.
The universal answer to all questions is yes, how much do you want to spend?

open drain on carb and see if you have good flow of gas. Let it drain a few minutes to be sure there is nothing in the tank floating around and plugging the outlet of the tank.

Drain the water out of you sediment bowl. Pull the carb drain and give it fresh gas. It'll start right up.

OK! Go ahead and laugh! I feel like a idiot!

Gas tank was bone dry.

Put some gas in the tank, and it fired right up! Funny how it likes a little drink now and then.

I was thinking, gas in the sediment bowl, so it has gas, duh, th sediment bowl is lower than the gas line!

When in doubt, check the obvious!!!
