Hi guys...new to WFM and glad to be here. A buddy of mine has had good luck on here and suggested I come here for help with a JD 160 that I recently acquired. Here's the story:
Ok, I've got a mid-80's JD 160 mower that I picked up off of a friend because he was tired of messing with it and had another mower that worked better for his size yard. Not sure what year this is, other than mid-80's (serial number tag was removed by someone before my friend).
I can mow for about 20 minutes and then the tractor dies. After cooling down, it will start again, but once warm, dies and won't start again.
I've checked fuel and it seems to get plenty. My friend replaced carb and rebuilt with kit from JD and it ran fine after that. It just started doing this this week. Replaced the igniter (feeds the coil) last week new from JD. Have checked fuel filter, cleaned tank, all that stuff.
I've got a coil ready to put on it but not sure that is my problem and would like some guidance before putting it on and making non-returnable.
Anyone have any ideas?
This is a repost from the Restoration & Repair side...someone suggested that this was a late model even though it was built prior to 1992.
Thanks!
