What causes a riding lawn mower to run rough?

What to do if your outboard engine is running rough?
If it isn’t, it will cause your engine to become fuel starved, run rough, and eventually stall. Simply twist it open and monitor your engine for improvement. If your outboard motor isn’t running at its best, check the fuel vent on your portable tank to make sure it’s open.
What causes a car engine to run poorly?
These filters sometimes become clogged or filled with water, causing an engine to run poorly. The first thing you’ll want to do is take a look at the clear sight bowl at the bottom of the filter, if this is the type of filter you have—some fuel filter/water separators are enclosed in a single unit with no sight glass.

What causes a car to start but not keep running?
The engine requires the right amount of air and fuel to mix together for ignition. If there is a fuel leak somewhere, then the correct amount of fuel may not make it to the combustion chamber. This might be enough to allow the engine to start, but not keep running.
Why does my Harley Davidson run better when cold?
Start with fuel rail pressure test. Your symptoms are classic for pin holes in the “inside the tank” fuel lines. Running better when cold could be due to the normal enrichment during warm-up. Running lean on both cylinders is another indicator for the need to check for this.
Why does my Briggs and Stratton engine run rough?
Another thing that effects a warm engine running rough is a coil going bad. You need to look for something temperature related. Cleaning carburetor, spark plug, gas, flywheel key and mag spacing wouldn’t have anything to do with the engine temperature. Three different spark plugs with same result. Could the magneto be bad?
Why does my Harley Davidson engine run OK?
Soemtines you see engine appearing to run OK until the fuel level in teh tank drops below where the hole in the line is. This is because fuel in front of a hole provides just a bit of resistance to the pressure leak. On borderline systems, it might be enough to allow the engine to run.

Why does my motorcycle engine stall when warm?
And the problem is often worse on a hot day. The dreaded stalling issue when the engine is warm is the most common idle problem and it is mostly related to the very lean air/fuel ratio on the modern fuel injected motorcycle engine. Why does my motorcycle stall at idle when the engine is warmed up and at operating temperature ? – Low compression.

How to troubleshoot a rough idle in a motorcycle?
Check the carburetor idle circuit for blockage. Check the fuel injectors for damage or blockage if applicable. Ensure the carburetors are synchronized if the motorcycle uses multiple carburetors. Make certain the battery is fully charged and all battery cables are tight and free of corrosion and sulfate deposits.
Why does my Harley Davidson hesitate at idle?
The idle is a little rough and as I stay at a constant speed the bike starts to chug and hesitate. I thought it might have been from sitting outside and not being ridden in a week while it rained so I have to try some dry gas. I am worried it might be a larger problem though.
Why does my Harley Davidson engine choke out?
I have a sputtering problem once I get on the road. I have replaced the spark plugs, replaced the fuel and the bike starts right up with the choke out, then after a few I can push the chock in and it will idle.

Is it bad to use dry gas on a Harley Davidson?
Using dry gas or additives is a waste of time. I have not checked for any stored codes in the bike yet but I will. The way it runs def makes me think bad gas or water in my lines. Maybe inspect the inside of the tank real good for rust etc.
When did my Wife’s Harley start to misfire?
My wife’s 2005 FLHTCUSE2 began to develop problems a few weeks ago. After a short ride, we stopped for her to get gas. On the way home, her Harley started to misfire and run poorly. I lost sight of her so I pulled over. After about 15 mins she showed up and said her bike would not stay running.
When does a Harley Davidson engine misfire at low speeds?
However, when cruising along about 25-30 mph (in either 2nd or 3rd gear) it is always misfiring and sputtering pretty bad now (had a little hint originally and definitely getting worse now). After coming to a stop, the idle is a bit rough and sometimes the engine acts like it wants to cut out for a few seconds after which it seems to idle OK.

What causes a Harley Davidson engine to sputter?
That too, from sitting a lot water can condense inside the carb especially if you live in a humid area….the float bowl could be poluted with water buildup….that messes up everything when it comes to running smooth… Thanks Badinfluence… Thanks for the indepth info and it was actually the crank position sensor…go figure.
