Z530M running issues

[Mark Cantrell]

I have a new JD Z530M mower with 38 hours on the unit. My mower has developed a problem that I have never experienced before. The motor will intermittently lose power, make a metal clanging noise and shut off. If I let it sit for a minute it will restart and operate correctly but 5 minutes or 30 minutes later it will do the same thing again. I am not able to take it back to the dealership where I purchased it until the mowing season is completed. Which is soon. Anyone experience this problem with a new z530 ? Could it be the fuel filter is clogged ?

Stop everything. Do not try to fix even the most simplest thing. Voiding the warranty at this point could be the dumbest decision you could ever do.
