Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): 345 shutting off, oil pressure switch, sectional index

Question
345 18HP liquid cooled; Kawasaki....
I did notice a mouse made a home in the air blower section and I cleaned it out best I could.  It was the section in front of the fan. It ran for about 1.5 hrs and now only runs for about 10 minutes, then shuts off. Is there a sequence of things I should check; fuel filter, air cleaner, etc....

thanks - Brad.

Answer
 Hello Brad:

 First; Check the Gas Cap and Ensure it is Venting the Gas Tank Properly. Second; When the Engine Quits; Check the Plug for Fire. Third; Check the Oil Pressure Switch. You can View a Breakdown of this Mower at this Addy http://jdpc.deere.com/jdpc/servlet/com.deere.u90490.partscatalog.view.servlets.H... and Enter the Model Numbers 345 and Click Find. Then Select the Model from the Search Results Area. Then Select Sectional Index. Hope this Helps. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Let me know what Happens, Please. Thanks.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully
