Ian ORCHARD 1 #1 Posted August 4, 2020 I've got a Wheel Horse Raider 10 that runs great on full throttle, no petrol smells at all from exhaust, until 10-15 minute mark and nice and hot. Then starts to splutter, governor tries to compensate (you can see it rocking to and fro), runs really rich, pops and bang and dies. Has new carb, points, plug, condenser, coil, fuel filter. Not fuel starvation as filter bulb is full and keeps filling. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tractorhead 8,612 #2 Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) Open the Tank cap and verify if tankcap vent is not clogged. If it stay‘s with open Cap, you find the problem Edited August 4, 2020 by Tractorhead 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,627 #3 Posted August 4, 2020 Does it have a condensor? If so, replace it...about $5 item. That's the little round-bottle like thingy on the side of the coil...usually silver color. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 17,170 #6 Posted August 4, 2020 How long does it have to sit before it will restart? If you have a spark plug tester hook it up and run with it. When the engine start to stumble does it show a consistent strong spark> Lets try to nail down as a fuel or spark issue 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
