WHwest8597 85 #1 Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) I have been having problems with my 315-8. It starts and idles fine. When I put it into gear it will run about 15 minutes and wants to shut off. Edited April 18, 2019 by WHwest8597 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 23,307 #2 Posted April 18, 2019 I'm thinking you mean it will run about 50 minutes and then wants to shut off. If you can not re-start it (if it does shut off) for about 20 to 30 minutes, and then it will start again, it could be a bad coil. A bad condenser can also cause this. Condensers are cheap, coils are not. I would change out the condenser, and if you have a second horse...swap the coil and see if the problem is fixed. Do them one at a time, so you can identify the issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,613 #3 Posted April 18, 2019 I know when my 314-8 did something similar to this, it was a fuel filter. Also, check the vent hole in the gas cap to be sure it's clear and not clogged. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHwest8597 85 #4 Posted April 18, 2019 I put a new fuel filter on the other day when I changed the oil. I did notice a few big air bubbles in the filter. I took the filter off and put it back on. Everything seems to be working now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
