You're right but I'm leaning towards the coil as the culprit, due to long term illness I just don't know when I feel up to working on it.

Ok, the final, final and completion of this problem. I made sure the tank was clean & line had good flow ✓ Installed Red pancake filter ✓ Repaced carburetor with cheap Amazon carb, would not idle, not sure if it would have died, disassembled original and cleaned it completely ✓ Replaced coil...

I finally got the filter replaced, used a red 150. Ran the mower yesterday with no issues. Hopefully this issue is resolved. Thank you all for your suggestions, if the problem re-emerges I will return to tis thread and try again.

Will do, thanks for the advice. I haven't changed the filter yet, undergoing chemo so got good and not so good days.

Had a red one when I bought it just couldn't find one locally.

Tks for the reply, I am hoping that's not the issue, after it dies it fires a bit by key, seems like fuel starvation but sure could be spark week or inconsistent.

I saw it both ways, red & white on youtube so taking a chance on red, if that fixes it I will try the white next time.

Tks for the reply, maybe not the problem

Tks for the reply, yes it had a red filter which I replaced, I don't think it has a fuel pump, hose from tank to carb.

Tks for the reply, unfortunately I bought it at an auction, did the cleanup & tune up routine first, then noticed the issue with first use. I'll pick up a little red one and switch out the filter.

I bought a used Cub Cadet CC30H, it starts and runs well for about 20 minutes, then it misfires and dies. I have fresh fuel, new fuel & air filter, new spark plug and oil/filter change. After about 10 minutes it starts and does the same again. I don't hear a hiss after it dies and I loosen the...

wheels and blade turn easily, I can get it to work if I play with it many times and eventually the engine will keep running, I have cut the grass with it. I will try and do a video of it.

It is clean, new blade etc and it dies when not in contact with grass

I was given an older Honda HR215, I had it tuned up new carb, new wheels etc and now when I engage the blade it kills the motor. I can fiddle with it and make it work but any ideas would be appreciated. The motor starts on first or second pull, self propelled works great, just the blade issue...

The symptom is the drive seems to work fine, when I engage the blade the engine dies, does not seem to get the rpms up enough. That's when I noticed the large spring from the bottom of the governor arm has a sage and looks to be stretched out, also the throttle return spring also seems to have...
