26HP Kohler tries to die

[ger.wat]

26HP Kohler tries to die every time it leans right, heads downhill, hits a bump, whatever.

Doesn't die completely comes back in a few seconds, seems those seconds are getting longer and more frequent so it has become a major pain.

It's in a Craftsman 917.275901, a Black DYT4000, I don't know how old, I haven't had it long.

Have not taken the carb apart yet.

My intuition says loose connection but all plugs are tight so where else to look?

A switch?

Something inside the engine?

Yes,
Water inside the carb most likely
Next likely cause is the ground wire to the coil earthing out.

Good call on the wire, sure as heck, that what it was.

Thanks bro!
