I have a snapper 18 hp courage 44" deck model 1694454. Mower would not start. I found a broken wire on breaker so replaced breaker and connections. Motor started no problem thought I was done but it will only run between 5 & 30 seconds before stopping. When cold it will run longer when hot after trying to keep it running it will run shorter time. During this time I just let it run did not drive to driver or engage PTO. It will drive no problem but same result. Try to engage PTO same result just short runs. I have replaced the fuel filter and pump no difference. I tested PTO switch it appears to be fine. After it runs briefly with the key on motor not running if I pull the PTO switch up it won't click till I do it a few times. This makes me think it is electrical?
I forgot to mention I did unplug the clutch just see if it made a difference it did not. Motor still runs a short period.
How can I determine if it is a electrical problem or a motor problem? Thanks for any help.
