Sears lawn tractor with 22 hp Kohler engine starts and then dies. What is causing this problem?

Well you know everything is working or it would not even run.


You are not gettting consistant fuel supply. You may have a loose clamp on the ends of the fuel filter. Sometimes the rubber line clamp gets loose or old and allows a small amount of air to get sucked in the line, this lessens the flow of fuel. Check the rubber line, and the clamps on the fuel filter.You also could have a clogged fuel filter. Take the model # of your sears tractor in to the store, they might have one in stock.


Drain the fuel tank and make sure gas is flowing steadily out of the line. Check to see if gas line hose got kinked somewhere.|||Check the fuel flow to the carburetor. Make sure the filter and tank are clean. If that isn't the problem, it is most likely the carburetor. It will need to be cleaned.|||A plugged air vent can cause these symptoms as can many other things.|||clean your air filter, and your fuel filter, but I would bet your air filter is dirty.|||check your oil level?
