I have a Snapper Rear Engine Rider with a Kohler CV14ST.Randomly it will act like it's running out of gas and stall. When you attempt to restart it turns over, won't start, and usually backfires loudly through the exhaust. Sometimes after sitting it will start and run normally.It did this several times last summer. Then, I replaced the spark plug, drained the gas, cleaned the carb, changed the fuel filter, & checked the gap and ohms (9.08) on the ignition module. I didn't see any clues of anything wrong at that time and it ran fine the rest of the summer? The problem just reared it's ugly head again.When it runs, it runs perfectly and no way of predicting when it will quit again.Thank You in advance for any help in tracking down this intermittent problem.
purchase a spark tester & next time it shuts down on you test for spark, had similar problem with Kohler CV14 recently, ended up being ignition module.
