Please post DETAIL about your problems!

I have a 2001 Craftsman LT and sometimes it stalls out on me for no reason. I would just be simply mowing a lawn and it will randomly stall out. It don't chug or nothing, runs smoothly. It just stalls.....
 
Check your gas, make sure it's fresh and clean.
Check your plug wire for possible grounding out or loose.
An engine needs three things to run , air, fuel and spark if any one of these is not present it won't run.
One more thing, check the fuel bowl for dirt that can foul the carb.
Good luck, Cuda

Does it start right back up?
I would look for a bad or loose wire or safety switch.

If it does not restart until you leave it sit for a while, I found check the coil. It may be opening when it gets hot.

The engine may experiencing a form of vapor lock in the carb, this will kill the engine and letting it cool down fixes the problem.
 
I would start it up and wiggle the key switch and the wires and see if it shuts down.
I had one that did the same thing was the key switch.

I have a 1997 Husqvarna 225L line trimmer. I have rebuilt the engine, new piston assembly (piston, rings, wrist pin and bearing), also have installed a new carburetor. The carburetor jet limiter caps have been removed and misplaced. I can get the thing to start but when I give it gas it bogs out and stalls. Where should I set the jets for initial start up, also the "T" screw? I can keep it running by playing with the choke, but when I release the choke it dies out like not getting gas, or being choked out! :mad:
 
Okay, I'm back with another question...
What is this knob for that is on my lawn mower? I have no idea what it is.:confused:
