One suggestion wouild be to check the spark right after failure. You can buy in-line spark indicators that give you a visual light if you are getting spark. This way you could see if you are losing spark when the engine warms up. If your spark is good, you would want to check the compression after the engine is warmed up and quits. You should have at least 100# minimum.

Try removing the gas cap. If that solves the stalling, clean the vent holes on the cap.

SOURCE: I have a Toro 20462 power mower -- about 15 years

Remove and clean the brass bolt that holds the float bowl on the carburetor. Clean out the bowl too. Use no metal objects to clean this bolt. It has 3 small holes...bottom...and on the sides near the top. Use carb/choke aerosol spray cleaner on it. IT can clog (esp. without an inline fuel filter on mower). Clean the bolt good, reinstall (not forgettting felt gasket between IT and the bowl) and your runnability problem and fuel flow problem should be solved as the bolt is also the main jet of the carburetor.

Toro zero turn starts fine and stalls as soon as I disengage brake

Sounds like the seat switch is not reading you are in the seat. Without a wiring diagram, it is difficult to say exactly.

Craftsman Model 917.259566 Tractor starts perfectly, but stalls out when the clutch is released. Whats happening?

Most likely your seat safety switch is not working. In order for the engine to run with blade engaged, the operator present switch must be made when the brake is taken off (releasing clutch).

Tractor starts, stalls when blade is engaged, or brake released

you have a safety switch malfunctioning or a transistorized relay not working properly. Go to www.partsdirect.com, this is sears website. It should be able to find and illustrated parts list for your mower.

Simplicity mower stalls when brake released

There is another safety switch connected to the parking/service brake. Check that one too. Sounds like its the one.
