Hi everyone,
I am brand new here and need your help with a Kohler engine stalling problem. I have a John Deere LX255 with 15.5hp Kohler single cyl. engine. I had the coil replaced two years ago that was confirmed bad and repaired at a huge cost by a local large JD dealership. About a year or so ago I began noticing that when running the tractor at above idle speeds (spreading fertilizer, pulling lawn cart, aerator, etc), the tractor will sputter and sometime stall out after a while...sounding like it is starving for gas? I replaced the fuel filter...but the problem still shows. Note: When cutting grass or blowing snow (running engine at full rpm), I never notice any problems! Only at low "putin around" speed do I experience this. Could it be a fuel pump issue? I doubt it is coil as it is brand new and the engine would instantly die I'd think if it were electrical...but I am by no means a pro at engine repair! Any help or advice would be worth a ton to me. Thanks! -Kevin
