Troy Bilt GTX 18 lawn mower engine won't continue running

When starting the engine, it shuts down immediately when the ignition key is released. What could be causing that?

SOURCE: troy bilt mower won't stay running to cut lawn

You may want to check the gas cap to see if it clogged with dirt. If the gas cap is clear, you more than likely have a carburetor problem. If you need tips on carb. cleaning, feel free to ask.

SOURCE: troy bilt mower. starts but shuts off within seconds.

sounds like you have a primer bulb if you take the bolt that holds the float bowl off and take a tip cleaner that they use for welding tips and clean the holes out of the side and the top it should let the fuel in again that will save you a trip to a service repair shop

SOURCE: I have a Troy Bilt 675 lawn mower, won't start.

is the gas in the tank old? if so, try to drain it and put fresh gas in. Pull the spark plug to make sure it is not fouled and replace it or put in a new one. Check to make sure that you do not have the mixture or choke set to run too rich or too lean. If you are at an altitude above 2,500 feet you need to run more lean to compensate.

if what you are saying is true that it starts and runs till you let off the key, then your ign switch is at fault. check this with a test light or d.v.m. to see if your coil + has 12 volts to it with the key in the RUN position. sometimes I have seen power while cranking then when you release key the power goes out..or eng stops cause switch doesn't have power to coil in RUN position, keep in mind there are lots of different Ign switches out there, make sure you replaced it with the right kind, use your test light to diagnoise
