I have a John Deere 717 Z turn lawnmower. It will run for about 20 Minutes and then starts to sputter and shuts off. If i let it sit for a few minutes it will start and run for 1 - 2 minutes then shuts off again. I have replaced air and fuel filter, replaced gas,cleaned carburator,checked fuel lines,changed spark plugs and nothing has helped so far. Does anyone have any suggestions or experienced the same problem.<br>
Thanks for any help<br>

Well, ran it uo a hill and when it quit turned it off and removed the plugs. Both were the same, dry and slightly white. Removed Carburtor, reinspected all jets, removed floats, needle valve and blew out. Jets are all clean. All seems ok. Carburator overall looks good. Replaced all gaskets. Machine shows a little improvement but today is a lot warmer and that could be part of it. Noticed when in neutral and give it gas it bogs at first then grabs and picks up rpm like my old car when the timing needed to be advanced. I guess the next step is to buy a Ig moduel unless anyone can think of anything else to try first.
