drive belt keeps coming off????????????????????/
@eddard ,Jobob , Since I do not know your exact model #, I will post some what generic answer to your issue. If the belt is the correct size and in good condition(not stretched or worn thin), the problem will be the belt retainers bent/missing/ or adjusted too far from the pulleys allowing belt to fall off. Check that the rear end has not slid ahead(broken mount) allowing belt to be excessively loose, check for badly worn pulleys and that the belt tensioner is working correctly(if equipped), belt guides/retainer/guard to far from pulley’s or missing is the usual problem. Good luck. I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.
The most common problem with engines stopping after a longer warmup of 6-15 minutes is just a bad plug. Resistance builds up in the electrode until electricity simply cannot pass through. The next most common thing is a bad ignition coil. This part already has your plug wire already attached.
This happened to me. The answer was that I had a short in the wires which control the flow control needle in the bottom of the carburetor fuel bowl. I replaced the original electrical plug on either side with a plug commonly used for wiring aftermarket lights. This fixed my problem. There are videos which can assist you in diagnosing this particular issue.
