I have a Ariens/ Kohler XT7 walk behind self propelled mower. It ran great the first seson then started giving me problems with stalling/ not restarting/ running rough etc.
I've replaced the carb once. It broke while i was cleaning it. So it is an aftermarket replacement. i still have the issue of it stalling/running rough. it will run fine..get rough and stall... a few pulls and its back in action only to repeat the same thing all over.
This is what I've tired so far:
-it has a new spark plug
-i read about the gas cap vent being clogged. I dont understand how to check to see if it is clogged but i did try running without the gas cap and it still stalled.
-its getting gas...i checked the bowl seems to be working fine.
I read about Kohlers having issues with the diaphragm on the choke being bad. How do I diagnose/repair this? or am i way off base? I'd really appreciate some advise....
