I currently own a Cub Cadet LTX 1040 with a 19-horse power Kohler engine. Two weeks ago, I was mowing my yard. The mower was working fine. Just as I was finishing, the engine began sputtering and died. The oil light was also flashing. After doing some basic research on this problem it was recommended that change the oil and do some basic maintenance. Which I did. I changed the oil, including a new oil filter, changed the spark plug, air filter, and fuel filter. I also cleaned the carburetor, cleaned the battery cables, and changed the gas by syphoning out the old gas, adding new fuel along with a fuel additive. When I started the engine, it ran great for about 5 or 6 minutes. Now it is sputtering and dying. Just like it did before. It is as if I never did anything to it. Any advice on this issue and what it may be?
