1992 14hp kohler tractor eng runs perfect for 15 min, then dies. After an hr, starts & runs 15 min, what's up?

I am going to take a shot here. It could be the ignition module. On my kohler, it would run ok and than when I shut it off it wouldn't start again for at least an hour. I checked the spark when it wouldn't start and of course there wasn't any. When it cooled there was spark and it would start. If you replace the module look around on the internet. There is a huge difference in price. I think that Pat's small engine was the best price. They run as high as $118.00. Pat's had one for $49 plus shipping.|||Although it could be an electronic component overheateing, it could also be a lube problem or bad bearing. When a worn bearing gets hot, it expands and causes the engine to bind up.|||check to make sure that the vent in the gas cap is open. in order for gas to come out of the tank air has to be let in or it causes a vacuum.|||Bad coil. Kohler engines are known to have this problem.








Good luck.|||fuel filter
