Why does my mower sputter?

What causes a car engine to stop running?

Intermittent faults in ignition modules can also cause an engine to suddenly stop running, and are often heat-related. When the module overheats, it quits working — but starts working again after it cools down (say 15 to 30 minutes later).

How long does a gas engine run for?

Gas was drained and refilled with new – it was also clean. Engine runs for a few minutes (3 – 5). Then it sputters real bad — sounds like knocking. Then dies. Seems like it is getting worse. It doesn’t even run long enough for the engine to warm up. I replaced the fuel pump.

Why does my Briggs and Stratton engine stop after 10 minutes?

Letting it sit until it cools possibly allows enough time for air to seep in and equalize the pressure so it’s good for another 10 minute run. Is the engine sputtering and slowly dying or when it’s good and hot is it like you flipped a switch? If it’s running fine and then just dies it could be the ignition coil failing when it gets hot.

First time it started I had it idling and moved the throttle slightly forward. after about 30 seconds it made a knocking noise like it was binding and died. Started it again and same thing. Started again and gave it more gas. Seemed to run better for about 5 minutes.
