Hi Tim Its security. If you want the engine to stay running, disconnect the switch under the seat. I know Stiga very well. I have ever had a Stiga Park and several villa"s. I repared them and sold them again.

I am 79 and still mowing my lawn. I use an Bolens XL14 mowingdeck in the middle and My proud a Stiga Park, Stearing in the middle and mowerdeck in the front. stearing 45° posible. Watch YouTube for the model.

I also think, could be an valve issue, check also if the flywheel key isn't broken (timing issue.)

That is correct, but do not forget to disassemble the magnet coil and make it rust-free because rust will not give you a good grounding and result in no spark. When mounting the magnetic coil, the adjustment gap is equal to the thickness of a business card. Good luck. Harry

I use it in my chainsaw.

Did you hit a stone or something else while mowing. After you hit something the mower can be out of balance.

Yes, it is possible there is not enough fuel flow. Open the fueltank and leave open when the engine is running. It is possible if there is not enough air going into the tank then the fuel will stop flowing after a while. When you start the engine after a while, the engine will run for a short...

I don't know if it is allowed to place a link here. If not delete it. Just for help...

Hi, I am not always shure that it is the ignition coil! I see you already took it off. Well if you clean the coil, the side off the flee wheel and the connection where you fasten the ignition coil from rust, the ignition coil needs a good connection to the body of the engine. (Closed circuit)...

Some air out of the tires then chains on and put again some air in the tires untill they are not moving, that should fix your problem. Harry
