I bought a 2007 grasshopper 227 midmount mower new and it has performed flawless until just recently. I have some mechanical experience so I do where the motor is located and all...lol but I am a little confused about my problem. I can get on the mower to cut my 4.5 acres of grass and sometimes it fires up and runs just great for an hour or 2 and I can cut it off for a few minutes and get back on it and it will be skipping so bad it will hardly move froward and I can smell gas like it is flooding..it may run like that for 5 minutes or 30 minutes and clear right up and throw me back in the seat as it returns to full power. i also can start it up for the 1st time and it will crank up skipping and once again it may run like that for 1 minute and clear right up or it could run like that for 30 minutes. sorry for such a long post but trying to provide as much info as i can. i have gotten the tank empty and attempted to blow any possible trash out with an air hose, also i have replaced the fuel pump, spark plugs, air filters. i am not sure if this could be a trash issue with the carb, or a fire issue. the spark plugs are dry when i take them out as actually today it started up running like crap and after 20 minutes it was still running ragged, so I checked the plugs and they were dry and I actually put 1 of the old plugs in 1 side and started it up and it started and ran perfect for a hour until i stopped for the day. Not saying it had anything to do with it but any advice I could get on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance
