Please advise on stalling tractor Scotts s1642

11 years ago

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to fix my tractor? Every time I switch gear from neutral to move or engage blades (while it's in neutral position) tractor stalls. So far I have checked air/oil filter, spark plugs and cleaned carburetor. The tractor starts well and runs good as long as it doesn't have to do anything, but once I put it to work it stalls. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for you time!

Romore,
Engine is Kohler Command 16, model: CV16S

Tomplum,
I don't have a seat switch as I disconnected it and soldered the wires.

did the no-start condition coincide with the seat sw. wire solder job?

Rcbe,
It did coincided with the solder job. I have put the switch back and it works again!
Thank you all guys for your helpful answers, I am very happy. What you do and what you know is absolutely amazing!

Glad you got the unit running again !
