Hello to all members,

I purchased new my 2015 ZG222 zero turn and have kept up with all maintenance requirements. The machine has approximately 240 hours of run time. The last two times I used the mower I have had the following problem: The mower starts as normal, and I cut for a couple of hours. After taking a small break, I start mower as usual and engage blades. After a few seconds the engine begins to sputter and wants to stall out. No smoke is noticed at this time. I disengage the blades and back off the throttle, and the engine begins to run normally. I then re-engage blades, throttle up and mow with no further issues. Any assistance with troubleshooting ideas will be appreciated.

Vaporizing the gas I'd guess. Pretty common with today's summer blended fuels I suppose. Don't know if there's a solution for that if that is what is happening. Might let it run easy for a minute before shut down and after starting to cool it off.
