I have a John Deere 170 ( Kawasaki Engine), after mowing about an hour and get in some taller grass, it starts to sputter and then stalls. It will start up but still sputtering and stalls again ( sometimes backfires). Left sit for a few hours and it started up and ran fine. It seems to be doing this more and more. Any thoughts what the problem could be ?

It sounds like the coil is breaking down at high temperatures. when a coil gets hot it expands. when it cools off it work right. i would change the coil and try it. i think that will solve your problem.

I recommend that you go to any john deere dealer and get a john deere replacement belt. What you will find if you go with a generic is that it will not be quite as good, and will not last.

SOURCE: John Deere Gx75, kawasaki 9hp motor- oil in carb!

A very common problem with the GX series with Kawasaki engines. The carburetor 'inlet needle' sticks open and fills the crankcase with fuel. When checking the oil, it can be difficult to see the gasoline and the level appears to be OK. Remove the dipstick and smell the oil, you may detect a gasoline smell. Also, drain the oil, and you may find much more fluid than you expect.
The solution on newer mowers was to install an 'in-line' shut-off valve to keep the fuel from syphoning into the carburetor. The inlet needle and seat in the carburetor is NOT replaceable, so a new carburetor is the ultimate solution, but VERY expensive. Installing and using an in-line shut-off valve is more affordable.
Also, this situation is common when machine is transported on a trailer, as the bouncing causes the needle/seat to leak. When transporting, always turn off the fuel supply to the carburetor.

SOURCE: John Deere L118 stalls after it runs

2 problems are common with this machine.One is the earlier machines had bad placement of the fuel line at the tank causing it to get pinched off and restrict fuel flow.It may get pinched at the very top of tank where line starts or between very rear of tank and frame.2nd problem is with the decompression setting of the valves causing engine to have too much compression at start up.Set your valves when piston is a 1/4 inch past top-dead-center.Set your intakes at .004.

My 160 has started having trouble mowing at its normal speed in my yard. I have not changed the height I mow at, or the frequency at which I mow... What's happening?

i am assuming you are talking about a john deere. if it has a lot of hours or is very old the drive belt may need replaced if you are talking about speed. if you are talking about missing some grass the deck belt may need replaced.

John Deere 737,Kawasaki motor, gets hot start's missing on one cylinder, cools off start's run fine, could it be the coil breaking down

possible so have the coil checked
could be from dirt and grass blocking the cooling fins of that cylinder causing the problem with mixture
if you spent that much with a dealer and the problem was not fixed maybe you should complain about the cost and the failure to fix the fault

John deere instructions

Your mower doesn't have enough power to handle very thick grass at high speed. You need to go slower across the lawn. That's easy to do if this is a push mower (just don't walk so fast) or if it's a self-propelled model with a speed control. But if it's a single-speed model you'll have to mow the lawn in fits and starts: squeeze the lever to move it forward; release it when you hear it bogging down; wait for the motor to reach full speed; squeeze the lever to move it forward again; repeat. Also, is the grass very high? If so, try setting the cutting height higher on the first pass, then lower it for a second pass. Finally, make sure the blade is sharp.

John deere riding mower will not go forwards or backwards and was just mowing yard with it. it will start it will cut grass but will not move now help

If it is the belt driven version you should have a deck belt and a drive belt. The drive belt is under the engine. If you have the hydraulic version check for a broken linkage at the pump.

you may want to try heavily washing the radiator with high pressure water from all angles. Over time grass and dirt gets in there and causes overheating.
