Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Cub Cadet 1225 Model #133-201-100, carburetor body, adjustment screws

Question
My lawn tractor starts up & runs for a few minutes. Then it dies & won't start back up. It seems to die once it is getting to operating temperature. I've checked the wiring connections, which were OK.  I've replaced the solenoid (by mistake when the starter was stuck engaged to the flywheel).  I've also replaced the spark plug, fuel filter, air filter, and it has a new battery.  It has a good spark coming from the plug wire.  Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

Answer
Hello Robert:

Did you Check the Plug for Fire as Soon as the Engiine Quits? If No, then Operate the Engine Unil it Quits, then Immediately Check the Plug for Fire. If No Fire, then the Coil/Ignition Module/Igniter is Bad. If the Plug is Firing, then Check the Gas Tank Cap and ensure it is Venting the Tank Properly. If the Cap is Venting, then  Remove, Disassemble and Soak the Carburetor Overnight in Carburetor Cleaner (I Use Gunk). I have Found that Most People can Use a Breakdown/IPL and Disassemble the Carburetor Enough for Proper Cleaning. You Only have to Remove the Bowl, Float Pin, Float and Needle Valve and Any Adjustment Screws that Go Into the Carburetor Body. The Welch Plugs Do Not have to be Removed. Then Soak the Carburetor Body and Parts in a 1 Gallon Can of Gunk Carburetor Cleaner Overnight. The Can has a Parts Tray Inside it for the Small Parts. Once the Carburetor and Parts are in the Cleaner, you can Replace the Lid for Safety and to Prevent Accidental Spillage. Then Blow Out the Passages with Compressed Air. Install New Parts if Required. Hope this Helps. I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Thanks.

Good Luck
