I just bought a brand new S180 riding lawn mower and within the first 1/2 hour of use the engine would start to cut out and run real rough. It was almost like the choke was being applied. It would take about 30 seconds of very rough running and then would smooth out and run normal for 2 minutes and then do it all over again. On numerous times the engine died. I would restart it and would run for a few minutes and start rough running all over again. When it would hardly move forward. I also noticed that when it was running rough you could smell a very rich exhaust again like the choke was on. So I was thinking it was something to do with the auto choke system on it but not sure. So if anyone could give me some advise on where to start looking I would really appreciate it so vey much. Thanks in advance.
