Few people are brutal - typing out messages & trying to figure out a problem from 1500 miles away requires short, to the point, messages & questions. :) No point getting all flowery & poetic with out messages...... So, what is the problem? You didn't tell us that. Did it crank over slowly when you tried to restart it? Did it fire at all, or nothing at all? Did you pull a plug wire & check for a spark? Was the tractor really hot when you shut it off, or was it barely luke-warm? When it did finally start later, did it fire right up, or struggle & cloud of smoke & it coughed to life? When it shut off again, did you take off the fuel line & see if fuel was running freely to the carb? These things will help in solving the problem. Nothing brutal about it, just need to know to help. :) In short, you either have an electrical problem or a fuel supply problem. Need to eliminate one of those. From there, we decide where the problem is - something in the gas tank, plugged fuel line, bad/ plugged carb, sticking needle valve in carb if it is fuel; or a shorted wire, bad coil, bad shaft on the distributor, etc. Need to know more to figure it out. --->Paul
